1 Answer

Answer :

You can purchase a screw extractor at a hardware store. This bit fits on the end of the drill and grabs hold of the stripped screw head and removes it quite easily. You could also drill through the damaged screw head about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Once the screw head comes off, the screw shaft can be removed with a pair of pliers. [email protected]
