Hey Moe there are two ways that I know of. The first is to use a type of easy out, which has a pointed end with left hand threads. You insert it into the stripped out socket and turn it counter clockwise. It digs into the set screw and forces it to back out. With a set screw that small though it is more likely that you may have to drill it out completely using a drill bit slightly smaller than the threads themselves. Once you drill out most of the material you should be able to force the gear off of the shaft. This will leave just a small amount of material in the threads, which you can remove with a tap the same size as the setscrew itself.

When possible I try to drill my pinion gears out and retapping them and use a slightly larger set screw. That may help reduce the chances of stripping out the socket. Good luck wiht that.

WOW new to RCM hu? Welcome aboard young man. Trust that whatever you need in the way of info on R/C in general this is the place to look for it. Search around in the threads that are already here in RCM and you should find most of what you are looking for, and if not then there are plenty of very knowledgable techy types in here to help you out. Good luck with your new adventure with the RCM family.
