Something I've done successfully in the past for small, nearly stripped screws: Put a drop of crazy glue in the screw. Put the screwdriver in as straight as you can and balance against something. Let dry. Now try to get the screw out. Sounds crazy, but it has worked. Of course, this is last resort before drilling it out. --murph On Tue, Dec 24, 2013 at 11:54 AM, Robert Moskowitz <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Right size screwdriver: Phillips #0; I have been doing this for close to 60 > years.
