minus-squareToes♀@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoHere’s a tip for anyone with this problem. Take an elastic band and place it over the devastated screw and try again.
minus-squareJCreazy@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI’ve tried this hundreds of times and it’s never worked.
minus-square🇸🇵🇪🇨🇺🇱🇦🇹🇪🇷@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoI posted it above, but the best way is to Dremel with a metal cutting blade to convert it to a flat head. Source: I used to work for Home Depot and had to fix shit for people all the time.
minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoOf course not. But it’s funny to watch you try.
minus-squarequicksand@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoLatex gloves also work alright in a pinch
minus-squareMaalus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoNeither of those really work when the screw is hard to remove, and quite often those which you strip are hard to remove. If you put the same damaged fastener back on and then can’t remove it, that’s on you though.
minus-squarequicksand@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoYeah definitely never put a stripped screw back in. Replace it or just leave it empty
