I just did the file trick yesterday on an rda and rdta that were down and it worked in seconds after struggling with a rubber band for a week. The excess metal got the screws out instantly

When I worked with Jewellery we used to use a dremel style drill with a 1mm drill bit, slow and steady drilling dead centre will at some point grip the grub and “extract” it, make sure you go slow though so you minimise the chance of slipping to the sides and ruining the threads.

You could also try left handed drill bits like this.

This would have helped a lot. Never even knew something like this was available.
If they sold 10 packs of the 1/16" bits - I’d be all over this.

You could probably find them on amazon or eBay.

Good advice about not using the free allen wrench. I will start using only my quality hardened steel real tools.

Bought this star driver set, the listing is unclear, but it comes with 6 drivers.
