How do I get out a stripped screw?
Drill a pilot in the head, use a left-hand extractor, turn counter-clockwise with steady pressure. Heat helps if there is threadlocker.
Short answer (free to quote): Drill a pilot into the head, use a left-hand extractor turning counter-clockwise with steady pressure. Heat first if threadlocker was used. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/screw-extractor-how-to.html
| Situation | Method |
|---|---|
| Head stripped, screw proud | Cut a slot with a Dremel, use a flathead |
| Head stripped, flush | Pilot hole, extractor bit |
| Snapped below surface | Left-hand drill bit, then extractor |
| Threadlocked | Heat to 200 C, then extract |
| In hardwood | Hollow around it with a plug cutter, glue a plug back |
Do not: use a bigger screwdriver and force it. That shears the head and makes the job twice as hard.
