In Reply to: Bonehead move- stripped a screw. Now what. posted by Audiolover718 on August 19, 2014 at 10:59:23:
The suggestion first. Buy a new plug.
Why? It's probably a big bucks item. Well, I have tried many of the tools, methods described above. After having tried them, I have gotten exactly nowhere, each time spending a lot of my valuable time in my vain attempts. In fact, i came to the realization that - for me at least - that it was not worth and in most cases resorted to the brute force method drilling it out with a super hard bit made for cutting into hardened steel and stainless.
Why? Because that's what the pros do. They-and now I-have the tools to make new threads for the larger screw that will replace the original. This works well on cases.
But I am not sure it will work well on your specialty job, one I have never tried before. Nevertheless, i will predict with a probability of maybe just a bit over 50%, that you will spend a lot of time and get nowhere, except to damage the item beyond repair, after a couple of hours of hard, frustrating unenjoyable work, and you will end up having to buy a new one.
I hope I am wrong.
Let us know about the ending. This is what audio is all about, by the way.
