Re: Magpul Moe Pistol Grip Hex Screw Stripped

you have a few options mate

using a hex / star / torque bit a little bigger then the allen key hole hammer it in then undo it,

or using a flad head screw driver hammer it in and undo it,
super glue on the next size up allen key and hammer it in

Any of those, or you can get drill bits that strip the heads out and remove the screw.

You can get screw removing drill bits that remove rounded off screws by essentially screwing into the rounded off screw.

Search amazon, thats where I got my set. Alternatively go to your local hardware store...

Edit: Well worth it by the way, they are really good.

I have had this a few times and torx headed bits have always worked for me.
