What's the best way to get a stripped screw out. My carburetor, at some time, was overhauled and one of the brass plugs/screw doesn't have enough material to get a bite with a screw driver. I'm afraid to heat it and am a little leary to drill it out. What's your best method to get it out?

I use a hacksaw to make a new slot.

if there is no room to get a hacksaw in there, use a cut-off tool.

use the right size screw driver. hold firmly in what is left of the slot. push down and turn cc to the point before the driver slips. lightly tap on the driver while repeating the above.
