Help with stripped screw head
Hi gang,
Last night it became apparent that the two 6922's in my cd player needed replacing. Having a pair on hand I decided to have at it. My player, a Tube Technology Fusion CD64 has a wrap around cover that slides off. One of the screws on the underside that takes a standard small phillips head is totally stripped. Nothing will work, I've tried 6 different screw drivers, an allen wrench, and needle nosed pliers. That head is totally stripped and nearly totally flush with the chassis. I'm sure there are ways to deal with this but I'm not at all technical, I just want to do this withour destroying the chassis. Help?
