Basically one of the screws on my XC II's has been slightly rounded off so what solutions do you lot have for removing the bastard?

Nice punch there Mikey

I drill a small hole through the screw being very careful not 2 drill straight through the ally body aswell

then hammer a tight fitting alley key into the hole and that should get it out by turning very carefully . Try and tighten it a little first as this normally cracks the stickyness
