I was home during lunch doing a little tinkering and stripped the head on one of the screws in my rings. It is an allen head (or at least used to be). What is the best way to go about getting the little sucker out?

Thanks.

epoxy the allen key in the stripped hole

try a somewhat larger key in millimeters

try a torx bit in the hole

drill out the head

small easy-out

tidalwave of other ideas to follow

there are ez outs made just for allen heads. they sort of look like a tapered allen wrench - you hammer them in - usually works ok

If it were me, I would try the torx bit first. If that didn't work then I would set it in the mill and remove the head.

Sears makes an extractor for that size screw.

That is what I used when I did the same thing.

With that small of extractor though it is easy to break it (extractor) if not careful. That is what happened to me as the screw came out
