Great...I'm not too steady, or good with the tools, but I'll give it a go...thank you. |

I use a good set of vise-grip pliers to grab the screw head from the sides and then unscrew it. if that doesn't work, you can also use a dremel with a cutting disk to cut a slot in the head and use a standard flathead screwdriver to unscrew it. If you have no dremel, a hacksaw will make the slot too. |

Go very slow, and try not to rub out the star/hexagon design so that you can use a hex/torx key after. Or.. if they aren't very tight, you could always try to ol BIC pen trick... they'll probably be too tight for that tho. |
