[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 4400529, member: 32303"] If you can grip something or say wedge a flat head screwdriver in and get it going that would probably be your better option. After this there are a few options but most will require not specialist tools but things you probably will not have around. Just before I get to that though a hacksaw blade that can make a slot for a flathead screwdriver works well a lot of the time but if it is a recessed screw that is somewhat more difficult, you can try making a slot with a drill but that tends to work better if you have skills with such a tool. If the head is messed up then you can drill down and get a screw extraction kit. Most people will have screwdrivers, spanners and various socket sets but rarely do I find these in the average toolbox. http://76.my/Malaysia/5pcs-screw-extractor-kit-5601a-aaronngu77-1005-03-aaronngu77@112.jpg covers what they look like and a method of operation. For the size you want you can probably pick up a kit for next to nothing or if you are friendly with a mechanic they will almost invariably have set of these. Option 2 but one I usually save for mechanical grade bolts (things that take serious load as opposed to the pencil thick things I imagine you are looking at right now) is weld/braze/solder something in there and then twist that out. After this is resolved you might want to consider getting either a tbar allen key set or something with a proper ball end like http://www.pearsestreethardware.com/images/allen%20keys1.jpg - saves a lot of cam out and messed up bolt heads.
