Front 2 allen screws, screwed

   Well, ello.

I recently got an A5 and it is indeed a very good gun, especially for me since i am actually new to customization rather than going and buying a "package". I got my A5 (stock) and now im adding new mods to it every now and then. But i am having a problem with the flatline barrel as in, to install it i need to unscrew the 2 allen screws to the front so i can remove the stock barrel socket. No allen wrenches i have work for it because they are disformed and i have no idea how to take them out. If i can somehow take them out i can replace them with 2 extra screws i have after i install my flatline. Anyways, the reason i am posting is that does anyone have any ideas on how i might be able to pull them out? A friend off mine told me to get a thin drill tip that will create a new screw point and pull it out thru the new screw point. It seems like a smart idea but i like to do a little research on my options before i procede with it. 

Here is a picture of it which i doubt you will be able to see how disformed they are but at least you will have an idea of which screws i am talking about.

	I'd go with a really small drill bit and drill them out bud

When you replace the bolts, make sure you are using the right size allen key to take them in and out.. And if it starts to strip, don't keep putting it back in, remove it and replace it.
