Hey Tommy........there are 2 ways you can go about this....

1: Try and find a screw extractor that size and hope, or frankly, just cut off the fly bar ahead of the screw. File down the end so it slides out and replace it all.

There is another way......but it requires a real steady hand and a real small drill bit.


Drill it out on a slow setting.......and be easy with it. You will feel it "give". You are going to have to replace the part that you are drilling into though.
