[geebsa]

I don't know if I'm posting this thread in the right forum but like. I JUST opened the back of this 1996 tama i bought a few years back (used before me obv) and...


I don't know how I'm expected to get this screw out lmao.

jeez youd think they were aiming for a world record in screw stripping
you could try the elastic band thing to get some grip on it but its so small itll be tough..
if the other screws are all ok i recommend tightening them back up while youre dealing with the stripped one so that theres less pressure on it
good luck

i tried with all my might but i couldnt get it to work. i'll probaly give it to one of my buddies, he workes in a shop and ill probaly ask if there is any specialized tool to get a screw this size out of plastic lmao

Hope your friend can help you, that's really unfortunate and frustrating. Fingers crossed!

…any specialized tool to get a screw of this size out of plastic

There is! It’s called a screw extractor. It’s pretty much just a small drill that cuts new thread that the bit can grip.
