Remove faucet screw
If all else fails, the screw can be drilled-out. I used Greenlee drill bits. It cut through the screw like butter, without damaging the threads of the hole. This was a Delta kitchen faucet, with a hex opening.

Make sure your using the correct size allen wrench. Some of the newer faucets are using Metric sizes. I had one.

Home Depot sells a screwdriver tip that will take it right out. Ask the salesman to show you.

They are the same thing. Allen is a brand name for hex shaped bores(6 sides)

Allen Screw
Superglue another screw to the old one then let it dry then unscrew it. Hope this works

stripped screw head
Try putting an elastic over the stripped head and then try unscrewing it with correct screwdriver.

Stripped hex screw
I used a star screw driver of the right size and forced it into the screw and turned very slowly to get a good bite. It may work for you. Good luck.

They have tools to take them out & they're cheap. Go to Home Depot or Lowes. Ask someone there will help you!

Ooohh, I agree but it sounds like this person isn't real saavy about using a Allen wrench. I wouldn't tell them to drill it out they might not use the right size drill bit. Try an easy out first! But you're right!

Buy a "star" Torx bit a little larger the the hole in your screw. Tap it in with a hammer or hope it bites. The Torx bit will only cost a couple go bucks so if you ruin it no big deal. It may be worth a try before you resort to drilling or a plumber.
