Benchmade Stripped screw on 945, need advice/help

[DavidABQ]

I'll say it again: the reason those screws are there is to allow unskilled workers to ASSEMBLE the knife.

I absolutely agree with this statement. It also allows us end users to make a mess of things sometimes. I know I have messed up my fair share of screws.

How so?

I have some Speed Outs. They have the drill bit on one side and the easy-out on the other side. Or you could take the knife to a machine shop and they could get the screw out for you.

I assume there is a gully there already in the stripped screw head. The right size easy out might just grab the walls of the gully.
