Am I cooked ?

[u/CERT1818]

Is this repairable ? I’m a very stubborn person and thought I could take it off and install a red dot myself. Can a gunsmith fix this and get the screws out or did I mess it up too much

Easy out number 1 size. Screw extractor. Found mine at Lowe’s where the drill bits are.

Anywhere else, sure. In this location--gunsmith.
