Screw problem

[blake_sw]

I accidently de-threaded the hex screws on my bottomline by using a slightly smaller hex key. Now nothing works and I can't get it out! Any suggestions on what I should do?

take that like crap you use on fittings to make it airtite, and wrap ti around the hex wrench to make it a good fit, and it might work

Take some glue or locktite or something and glue the wrench (or something else) into the hex screw and then unscrew it and go to the hardware store and buy replacements.

With some expert advice and some tools, my dad I managed to solve the problem. I forget the exact process, but it was complicated. Here's another solution

"How to remove a de-threaded screw from your grip"
Tools needed:
Hacksaw or saw capible or cutting small groove in metal
Flat-head screw driver (flat line)
WD 40

Step one:
Coat the sides of the scew in WD 40.
Step two:
With the saw, cut an even groove into the side of the screw. The groove should be large enough just to fit the screw driver in.
Step three:
Fit the screw driver into the groove, make sure it's tightly in place. Unscrew!

The way I did it was very complex. You'd need a drill & different drill bits, WD 40, screw remover. Buch of complex stuff. If this doesn't work, you may have luck taking the gun into a hardware store. The man I asked to help could only give me advice, he wouldn't work on it for legal issues and incase something went wrong
