:( Stripped screws bite!

Next time try using a dremel to grind the stripped hole of the screw into an oval (or slot). Then use a flat head screwdriver to get it out.

Make sure you're using metric screwdrivers (2mm) for that type of screw. A good set of tools will make your screws last longer. Also, as soon as you notice stripping get rid of the screw.

The screws in the chassis kit are fairly tough - I'm surprised you've already stripped one.

Let me know if you'll need a replacement on you servo plate - I do have them in stock.
