Default RE: Stripped Wheel Collar removal?

Try grinding a fresh end on the allen wrench. Sometimes it's actually the wrench that is in worse shape than the set screw itself. If that doesn't work, I agree with Campy, cut it off with a dremel. Something you might consider for future installations is replacing the tiny set screw with a 4-40 or 6-32 socket head screw, they hold up better.
