I just purchased a refurbashed 98 custom and I cant seem to get the Front grip's screw out, I put some oil on it, and tryed it again, still didnt budge? What should I do?
I think I may of just stripped the screw (err..)
I saw a post before and see it alot about something to remove a strippped screw, some one mention the name to me?

If the screw isn't in too tight some superglue on your allen wrench may work.  If it is totally shot you'll need to get an EZ out for your drill.

DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE! IT WILL NOT WORK! THAT IS NOT THE RECOMMEND FIX>

Do a search with the JB Weld or just Weld. You will find the CORRECT method of extracting a screw on which the Allen socket is stripped.

Actually the original poster did not make it clear how the screw might be striped. "Put some oil on it" isn't the type of thing you'd do if the Allen socket head is striped. The JB Weld method fixes the fit of the Allen wrench to the Allen socket hole in the head of the screw.

If the threads of the screw are striped in the bolt, another method is necessary.
