minus-squareToes♀@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1年前Here’s a tip for anyone with this problem. Take an elastic band and place it over the devastated screw and try again.
minus-squareJCreazy@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1年前I’ve tried this hundreds of times and it’s never worked.
minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1年前Of course not. But it’s funny to watch you try.
minus-square🇸🇵🇪🇨🇺🇱🇦🇹🇪🇷@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1年前I posted it above, but the best way is to Dremel with a metal cutting blade to convert it to a flat head. Source: I used to work for Home Depot and had to fix shit for people all the time.
minus-squareRiverGhost@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1年前I was very confused until I realized you mean flat elastic bands which I’m not so familiar with (the ones I’m used to, have square cross sections).
minus-squareMaalus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1年前Neither of those really work when the screw is hard to remove, and quite often those which you strip are hard to remove. If you put the same damaged fastener back on and then can’t remove it, that’s on you though.
minus-squarequicksand@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1年前Yeah definitely never put a stripped screw back in. Replace it or just leave it empty

Latex gloves also work alright in a pinch
