This should be a very general question but nothing came up in the search function. I've never really worked with stuff THIS small and delicate (brakes on a car are much easier )... so I thought I'd ask here.
I seem to have stripped a very small screw on my Walther P22. The "worm screw" that helps hold in the extra weight on a 5" barrel setup. I've taken it off and put it on, oh, four times now. Must be some weak metal for me to strip it that easy -- so I surely want to try and replace it with something harder. Then again, maybe I should just try and "snug" it in there from now on.
It's an allen wrench screw, I beleive 1/16th in head. It's length is just 3/32nds of an inch from eyeballing it. Yeah, I'm an idiot. The bugger is STUCK in there it seems.
Can anybody recommend a tool to remove something like this without damaging anything? Sources for such tools?
