Need help with stripped screw head

[alexs2006]

Oh nooooooo......the damage is irreversible! Bring it to me and I'll enjoy it for you dispose of it properly.

Before that happens I’ll cut a slot in it with a hack saw.

This. Use a dremel and make it a slotted screw....

You can try a flat rubber band over the hole and push a sizeable torx into it in the meantime.

I know that isn't an allen head screw nor a torx driver, but you get the idea,

I’m going to let cmshoot check it out first. This will be my last resort. Play on the right hand side safety switch so if I ****ed that up, I can at least install a spacer not need it since I’m a righty.

Anyone know the screw size and thread pitch by chance?

In the past I've taken the next size up torx bit and tapped into an allen head that was stripped. If you bottom it out and go slow and steady they come out.

If Cmshoot can’t get it out, this will be what happens.
