stripped screw in a tight place
ok, so this seems like a pretty dumb problem, but here we go anyway, i'm taking off the side rails of my famas to put the Bi-pod back on, and one of the screws is stripped (from a previous owner, failed to mention it to me) now heres the problems, the area is very tight, not much room to move even a small wrench around the bolt, and there is the battery cables that run along that wall of the gun (not a huge problem, can easily be moved). any tips to get it out with out doing any damage to the gun. pics below of problem.

Not so sure how well it would work, but i have solved a similar problem with a dremel tool and pretty much made the screw into a flat head. Problem with that though is a lot of heat and can will most likely damage the finish. If all else fails try that

go slowly with a dremel and an HSS tool, the sanding tools cause excessive heat
