I have a stripped phillips head screw on the timing cover of my 72 Triumph. I have tried putting as much pressure as I can against it with no luck so far. Anyone have any helpful tips besides drilling it out and using an extractor. That will be my last resort. Thanks

Matt

Thanks guys. I have been soaking it in PB Blaster for a day or so. I am going to stop by home depot and try and find one of the impact screw driver. Allen head screw kits for all three covers are already on the way. Thanks again guys.

GOT EM OUT! I used a "grab bit" that I picked up from the local hardware. Has a burnishing bit on one end to make an indentation and tapered reverse bit on the other end like an extractor. A little heat and that dude came right out. Thanks for the help guys.
