I've tried heating the parts (burned my hand in the process). I tried hammering in a torq bit, didn't work. I even grinded off the rounded edge on one of my hex drivers and that didn't help either.
what type of hex wrenches are you using very common most wrenches don't go the full length into the set screw. I bought a cheap hex set from home depot the bits are super long they go all the way into the set screw. I had two set screws strip the bits took out the strip screws no problem.
