What I learned was to use a dremel and cut a slot in the head of the screw. Then use a flat head screw driver and unscrew it. You just have to replace the screw after. Its pretty easy to do.

Genius

A little heat should help loosen it up if you put threadlock, try not to melt anything tho. check your allen head, might be time to replace it. that might be causing you to strip screws

yes it could be your tip, because after you "slip" a few times it can round the edges. What i do every now and then i grind off about 1-2mm off the top of the hex so that it gets rid of the round edges.

hope this helps
