Try removing the stripped screw with the proper size manual screwdriver. • 2. If the screw head is protruding from the surface, grip it with self-locking pliers and twist out the screw. • 3. Use a cordless drill, set in reverse, and left-handed bit to drill a small hole into the head of the stripped screw. • 4. With the drill still set in reverse, use a screw extractor to back out the screw. • 5. If the screw head has snapped off, use a hollow-boring screw extractor to drill out the entire screw. Fill the resulting hole with a tapered wood plug. • About Ask This Old House TV: • Homeowners have a virtual truckload of questions for us on smaller projects, and we're ready to answer.
