I see your sig and I assume you mean your buggy. Don't know that buggy but on my EB4 the shock tower/gear box screws are either straight through screws and nuts or screws into plastic. If you mean the screws into plastic have stripped, best way of getting them out is to CA the screw/hexdriver into the screw head, let it set and then unscrew while geently pulling the driver.
