Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone could help me.

When I changed the faceplate of my T68 I seem to have taken the indent out of two of the screws when tightening them up. Now I can't get the T6 screwdriver to grip them!!!

Just wondering if anyone knows of any device/method that would allow me to get the screws out and replace them with new ones??

Thanks in advance for any help!

Ooops !the trick is to push hard on them when tightening or losening, but NEVER tighten to hard, you have many choices, if you can`t get them out by pushing really hard while you gently turn them you could try a bigger torx, or even as a last resort you could araldite (2 pack epoxy engineering glue) a steel pin (a nail would do, but must fit well) into the screw head then when FULLY set (over night) use plyers to start the turn. but if you just push hard & turn slow u should do it, when out you can use a tiny hacksaw blade to make a cut across them & then use a tiny slotted type screwdriver to put them back or as you said u could renew them.
