Had to use a dremel to cut a slot in the top of the head and turn them out with a screwdriver, and it was tight to get to them with the dremel. Used some replacements and noticed the heads are deeper on them then the xray screws.

I bought new bits for this build, pre tapped everything and only tighten to snug. Never had a problem stripping allen key heads before. Anyone else have this issue?
Xray seems to have gotten a bad batch of screws as this seems to be a common complain. I had to Dremel several screwsyself. Just replace them and you should have no worries
