Frame screw top stripped
Now the Allen key wont catch and the grips are stuck on the gun.

Cutting a slot for a flat-head screwdriver always works for me
You can also drill through the middle to remove the head, pull the grips off then remove the screw from the side with vice grips.
Also those screw extractors (or even a broaching tool hehe), though I can never get them working right.

There's also the trick of super-gluing an Allen wrench that will fit (tightly) to the screw, let it dry, then back it out. You expend an Allen key doing it, but it does the job.

Thanks guys.
I got the mag in and one of the frame screws was toasted. I thought about slotting it but was afraid of scratching the wood grips in the process. Ill try glue first and see how it goes.
Would loctite work? If not ill go get a glue gun after work.

Just a dab of Super Glue. Not sure if Loctite would work. You'll want to be careful not to get too goopy.

I've done it with JB Weld before. Loctite probably won't work unless you have a super close fit with the allen wrench as it is considering it cures anaerobically.

I got it out.
Although glue didn't work.
I got frustrated and got my drill and bits.
Took the top right off.
Lol but now there is a little screw nub in the hole now. The grips are off though!

You should be able to grab the top of the screw stub and twist it out.

The problem is:
Tiny screw
Big fingers lol
