How can i get off a striped screw?

How can I get out a broken or stripped screw?

  • Well, i was trying to get out this screw in this plastic barrel, but then the screw head "deformed" and now the head wont connect with the screwdriver. Its not too deep but deep enough that i cant use pliers or tweasers. And also i cant afford to damage the barrel itself. Any solutions are appreciated. Thanks

  • Answer:

    you can go to any home depot or a store that sale tools you'll ask for a tool you can use to take out screws with out head, they'll show you. or you can glue it to your screw driver with crazy glue and try to take it out, also you can use a hammer with your screw driver and a couple hits to make a little bit more deeper

you should be able to get a thing called an "easy out" otherwise known as a screw extractor... They look sort of like strangely threaded drill bit

Drill it out with a drill bit and use a bigger screw.
