If you can't find an extractor small enough you may also be able to just drill it out; just need to be careful of the threads. You may also need to just drill it out and rethread the hole for a slightly larger screw. -----Original Message----- From: pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vick Ko Sent: Friday, April 24, 2009 11:06 AM To: pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [pure-silver] Re: stripped screw Depends on the size of the screw. Normally one would drill a second hole down the screw, and use a back-out tool (screw extractor). http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-a-Stripped-Screw Camera screws tend to be small. Is this screw in a thin plate? Can it be driven all the way through, and picked up "on the inside", rather than be backed out? How large in diameter is the screw?
