Thanx!
If the 1/8 hole is too small for the extractor, you've got to drill a bigger hole. What size is the screw that is stripped out.....? (you might have had a dull bit last time around) Screws aren't as hard as drill bits so get back and drill a hole in that bugger......

Would drilling off the head do any damage to the mounting structure....?
