Hi have no fear get a Torx bit a T27 and tap it in, and it will dig in to the corners, then remove stripped fastener, remember now not a 25 or a 30 a 27.

PS: Do yourself a favor get rid of those factory offerings.

Now throw away or sharpen those stripped out allen wrenches and take care of them from now on. All the corners need to be sharp.

It worked great after I figured out what the t27 was and that I had it on my bench. I was swapping to a choate I got, had to do a little dremel work to get it to fit. First time i've done any of this but it all works. Thanks for the help.

Just currious, what kind of dremel work was needed?

Had to open it up a bit to drop the trigger guard in.
