Anyone have any favorite techniques for removing stripped screws? was doin some basic stuff to the ol' celi today, replacing the pcv valve, dist cap and rotor. everything was goin great till i got to the dist rotor. why there are screws in this thing in the first place i'll never understand, but i got one screw out no prob. on the second one, the screw driver slipped outta my hand and damn near desintigrated the screw top. so now i'm lost. any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

or you could take a small amount of cold weld and try to coldweld like an old screwdriver into it , let it set, and then try, but dont use enough cold weld to weld the screw to the rotor!
