stripped hex screw!

[pissant]

I am having a lot of problems getting this hex screw out! I kinda scripped it so the 2.5 size alan wrenches wont even move the screw, it just twirls in it! what can i do? no other alan wrenches fit it... do they make special tools for stuff like this?:OMG:

Use a pair of needle nose vise grips or cut a slot in the top of the screw head with a dremel and unscrew it out. The dremeling always worked for me unless it's in a spot that you can't get to with a dremel.

I'm suprised that you didn't do a search before asking.

Valve grinding compound can be very effective. A tube should last you a long, long time. You just put a little dab on the screw head or the tip and it should bite.
