Hey guys, just wanted to check if there was some way to remove stuck screws from a sub bracelet. The screws turn but don't come out. I think the screw grooves may be shot. Any way to remove them?

The threads are stripped - you can drill them out.

you could theoretically tap them out from the other side of the bracelet, but of course you'll ruin the threading ( but as you said it's already ruined )

Yea, if its not coming out, you're better off tapping out from the other side and throwing that link away. the thead is most likely stripped and you dont want that to happen again. i've had a few reps that did this. Not fun.
