which frame? if it is bad, use a hex driver that is slightly larger and jam it in to get bite, you can use foil or thin tape over the tip of the torx as well (or get a t7), or if all else fails, do the brute force method...Anyone got any idea on how to remove stripped screws? jlee226

pry the frame open...will pull the threads off the screw because the Ti alloy the frame is made of if way stronger than the soft crap stainless screws they use, plus the threads are tiny...be careful not to mar the frame, but it works. or be brave and drill it and hope you don't trash the frame jlee226

probably not on an R1...use a small smooth flat screwdriver to work between the pieces and gently pry as close to the screw as possible...Similar threads
