How to take out a strap screw from a stripped lug?

As above. Would appreciate your help since I can't unscrew it out....

Thanks.

Well, I push on the tip side of the screw with a gig needle while turning the screw head with the screwdriver, its a bit tricky as your hands get tangled a bit but if you've ever removed a double screw case pin then you should be used to that move.... :lol:

If not try to brace the case between your knees while pushing with the needle on one side and turning the screw head on the other, dont be afraid to push really hard with the needle, makes all the difference in the world...

It is a lot easier if you can get some help. If some one can hold the the case while pressing a pin to the end of the screw, while you unscrew, it should work.

I recently had a stuck screw and it seems like the threads on the screw is softer and breakes before the threads in the case.

OK. Thanks. Will have to try that...
