Stripped derby cover screw
Need some help. One derby cover torx bolt is stripped, other 4 are out. NOt sure what to do. Tried heating it up, can't get vicegrips on it.
Suggestions?
Here's the bonus, or um bonehead move...was doing fluid change and drained all three holes and can't fill up the primary until i figure out how to get this one out.(I welcome the ridicule)

If it's the threads in the case you will have to tap the threads.

But buy the allen head screws in a button or standard style there 1/4 x 20 x 1/2 grade 8
I've been that route all ready I've got the allens in my cover and are alot easier to unscrew.

Drill the head of the screw off, then pull the derby cover off, then you will be able to easily unscrew the screw with your fingers or pliers.
Search, you will find many threads about this.
Make sure you have a T27 and not a T25, easy to think a T25 fits, until it strips!
Use some anti seize on the threads when you put the screws back in.

This happened on my buddy's Fat Boy. We used an easy out. You put the bit on a drill and its reversed threaded,as you drill the bit digs into the screw head making it turn out. Any hardware store or Home Depot will have them.
