well, I've succeeded in stripping the screw. This blows donkey nuts. Well, it's not totally stripped, but it isn't making things easier. I may try finding one of these "gator grips". I hate failure. But I may have failed here. But I'm not done yet. Will see what I can do tomorrow.

If the screw head is stripped just use a pair of Vice Grips or a pipe wrench. A pipe wrench will increase it's grip as you turn it. As Wacki mentioned, the make of your car in most cases, will tell you whether you need SAE or metric tools.

God speed.

Cardsharp- How much do you charge? Seems you've got the process dialed in.

There's no way this isn't a troll.
