use a dremmel and make a slot? then use a screw driver?

then buy a new field strip screw?

That's a little strange....a stainless steel valve with threads stripped out by a field strip screw? I've never heard of that before.....but have certainly broken off a field strip screw in the valve.

This issue, however, is why I am sticking with a stainless steel valve rather than going to an aluminum xvalve.....I'm notorious for stripping threads......so I'lll stick with my Emag valve.

Tunaman should be able to help you, my friend.....
