*I've saved a couple of bad stripped screws in the last few months with this
method:*
**
*1. soak for reasonable time with a penetrant*
**
*2. pound the head with a carefully chosen punch or air hammer.*
**
*3. cut a screwdriver slit in the head with a small abrasive disc in a
Dremel.*
*4. Apply a screwdriver & know you've done all you can do.*
**
*Didn't work?*
**
*5. Then, having avoided breaking off a very hard broken easy-out, drill
out the screw and retap.*
