Stripped screw...

Alright, so I was gonna get my engine out from the car when I noticed I stripped the screw from tightening it. I saw online that using a drill will work, but not most of the time. Does anybody know a method?

So you have stripped the head of the screw. Do you have a Dremel rotary tool? if so you can slot the head of the screw with a cut-off wheel and use a flathead screwdriver to safely remove it.

Yes, I do. This will work with an allen wrench screw right? I'll take a picture of the damage on the screw.

ya, just cut a str8 slash across it and use a flathead.

Uhm, It should work with this. Just making sure.

ya it will work. cut deep since the screw is so thick.

Yeah, lol. It's shaped like a dish because after it was stripped I tried the drill, but then I stopped. I'll fix it tomorrow. Thanks!
