Hey guys. I come here embarrassed and with great regret that I have stripped the screw head of my Juliets as I was trying to change out my lenses for the first time. I used the screwdriver that came with the new lenses, and it seemingly did not match up, so I ended up stripping the screw head. I only came across the thread warning against the use of those cheap screwdrivers when I was searching for a solution.
Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix this and extract the damaged screw? I know replacement screws can be found online, but that would not do much good for me if the old one is still there. lol My dad has a special kit for extracting stripped screws, but it is meant for normal sized screws and would not fit in the space on the Juliets without damaging the frame. Is there anything like that for eyeglass screws that I can find easily to quickly extract the screw?
Thank you in advance for your help! I would really like to get these beloved frames back to working order.
