The screw stripped and won't move and now one screw B holding the entire bottom cowling of the RV 12. Do I drill through the center and then pull it out? The X in the screw is now a 0
I have removed a few using a Dremel with a very small abrasive cutting disc and grinding a slot in the head to fit a flat blade screwdriver. The heat created by the grinding also helps loosen up the screw. Work fast.
I will not use stainless screws on anything that is removed during normal maintenance.
Stainless does not play well with nutplates. The next time you remove one, look at the threads with a magnifying glass.
