In Reply to: Bonehead move- stripped a screw. Now what. posted by Audiolover718 on August 19, 2014 at 10:59:23:
Screw extractors (mentioned below) are designed to address this problem. You drill a small hole from near the center of the stripped screw head into the screw maybe 1/4 inch deep, then gently pound the proper-sized screw extractor into the hole, and twist the extractor with a wrench (or tap handle) to back the screw out of the hole. It's absolutely sweet and clean, job done in 5 min or less.
