well i would say your best bet now would be to goto your local paintball shop and have them do it......

DISCLAIMER... i am not responsible in any way if you use the following info... if done improperly could damage your marker....

ok now that that is said.....

you could cut the head of the screw off and then use locking pliers to remoce what is left of the screw..... it sounds like someone may have used loctite to keep the screw in.... once the grip frame is off, apply heat to the screw in order to loosen any thread locker on it and then remove with pliers....

and remember kids righty tighy - lefty lossey

and if that still doesn't get it, a drill and tap works wonders.
thats a last resort though for any occassion but its how i would get it out.

Do you have a dremmel tool? If so, you can grind the head of the screw off and with the trigger frame out of your way you should be able to get the remainder of the screw out with a small pair of vise grips!

I had this problem. They man who fixed it for me, after i had tried endlessly, put a portective metal sheet around the screw as not to hurt the grip frame, then heated it and it popped right out wqith no damage to the grip frame.
