So I was trying to replace the lenses and the darn screw head is stripped out. I got the left screw out finally, it was very very tight. The right one just won't budge though. What the heck am I supposed to do??

Need help! Hatchet orbital screw...

Find a broken one and salvage it for parts. They come up from time to time. Look at eBay recently sold, there was one last week.
Unless someone knows the screw size and it matches one available like for X Metals.

Any good local optometrist should be able to replace it at nominal cost. - 11,507

It's still screwed in. They can get it backed out?

That's what I did with a Juliet. They removed the stripped orbital screw in less than 2 minutes and didn't charge me anything. - 11,507

That sounds promising. I'll call mine today and see if that's something they can do.
Ha, just got my first pair of Hatchets, Mercury w/ Ti. Was searching for what screw type it was as it was hard to see and came across this thread. Had to change out the Ti. lost one screw twice and had to crawl around looking for it on the rug. What a b$$@# !!! Got them in finally and they will hopefully show up on the WOAYWT thread next week. @Oaks Between the Hedges , how did you end up making out with yours just in case

That sumbitch sits in my case and never gets worn. The guy at the optometrist got the walleva lenses in without removing the screws but walleva is pure garbage so I forced the scratched OEM lenses back in but don't like wearing them. I honestly haven't even thought about them jokers in a long time!Ha, just got my first pair of Hatchets, Mercury w/ Ti.

Seemed like I was flexing them to get them seated, but got it done and they look cool
