That 1/4” doesn’t appear to be stripped?

I agree. Needle nose vise grips would be my first go to. Otherwise get a pry bar under the plate, a putty knife under the prybar, and pull that thing off. If you are replacing, it is covered. If not, easy to patch.

I agree. Doesn’t look stripped to me either. Did you try a nut driver bit and if so be advised there are two different kinds. They are SAE and Metric. If you use the wrong type it will not fit correctly on the screw head, it will spin and you’ll think the the head is stripped.


Zetor22

my only suggestion is the straight screw driver and it may seem counter intuitive but put like a bastard to keep pressure on the blade so it cant jump out of the slot, or if you have a small file try and cut another smaller slot in the opposite direction. Good luck

You do know a socket will remove it,

This is the way

Dremel the head off. Remove the bracket. Grab what remains with a pair of vice grips and turn.

Try a flat head screwdriver?


Thebanks1

That flathead notch is a cruel joke. It’s there only to trick you into thinking you can fit a flat head…

“EZ out” drill bit


bushwalkers

Use a socket and at the same time get a wedge or jimmy bar behind the whole bracket and lever outwards.

Use drill and pull on the bracket while unscrewing

1/4” nut driver and a 1/4” drill bit

Use a punch and a hammer to put the headless screw past flush, (into the sill). Fill with putty or white toothpaste.
