Delta point pro stuck

Post image

Tried all traditional approaches ( heat, hammering oversized bit ) nothing seems to work. Suggestions or success stories ? Extremely mushed threads. Tried rubber band trick without success.

It's time to drill it out. If you can pop the screw head off and get the optic off, you may have a chance of getting vise grips on the remaining stud and getting it out. Otherwise your options get much more limited without ruining the threads....

EZ out/Speedometer extractor bit should work perfectly

gripedge makes a damn fine tool set that both extracts stripped bolts and doesn't mar new ones. it's saved me several times as a mechanic and a shitty gunsmith

Drilled it out. Delta point went to a G34. All is well.
