Something like this? 


https://www.amazon.com/Extractor-Stripped-HassleFree-Hardness-63-65hrc/dp/B07GZ17QD9/

I don't know if that's the right size for your application  but searching for "screw extractor kit" is a good start. I'm sure they have them at all the hardware stores too if you don't want to wait for Amazon.

Yes, if you can't get some needle-nose pliers onto the edges of the screw and twist it out that way, then you're going to need to use one of those screw extractor kits.  They work pretty well, but the smaller the screw, the smaller the extractor you'll need, and there's a certain point where there's just not enough metal left to insert and grip.

Between the end of 1945 and July 1946, Hungary went through the worst inflation ever recorded. In 1944, the highest denomination[clarification needed] was 1,000 pengő. By the end of 1945, it was 10,000,000 pengő. The highest denomination in mid-1946 was 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1020) pengő. A special currency, the adópengő – or tax pengő – was created for tax and postal payments.[40] The value of the adópengő was adjusted each day, by radio announcement. On 1 January 1946 one adópengő equaled one pengő. By late July, one adópengő equaled 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 2×1021 (2 sextillion) pengő. When the pengő was replaced in August 1946 by the forint, the total value of all Hungarian banknotes in circulation amounted to 1/1,000 of one US dollar.[41] This is the most severe known incident of inflation recorded, peaking at 1.3 × 1016 percent per month (prices double every 15 hours).[42] The overall impact of hyperinflation: On 18 August 1946, 400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 4×1029 (four hundred quadrilliard on the long scale used in Hungary; four hundred octillion on short scale) pengő became 1 forint.

I am starting to struggle just a bit getting into the GTI, which apparently is 0.4" lower than the usual Golf.  I've been working out and stretching, and it's starting to be a chore.  Getting into a car like a Corvette at my age starts to be a real chore.  I can see why folks like SUVs (some, I hate'em personally).

Guys my age like to buy that flashy car they dreamed about all their lives, which is fine, but it starts to be impractical.  I know one can pick up a used nice Corvette for quite the discount.

Another one. I was trying to adjust the wheels on the screen door where we live and one of the screw heads is stripped. Anyone have a suggestion on removing this screw so I can replace it? Problem is it's recessed and I can't get at it with anything I have on hand. Is there a bit I can buy that will do the deed? Ugh.
eff drilling it out or anything else complicated... it's just a screen door.  super glue on the allen key head, a few seconds set time, take it out. 
if you're working with machinery of any kind, yeah- you'd need to drill it out or use an extractor as not to screw up the device.... but... it's a screen door.  super glue is your friend.  just replace it, or, after adjusting it set it back in place with it still glued to the key... and break the key off (the glue will break before anything else).

That won't work here. If I could get at it, I could do that. But I can't get at it.
Thanks guys. I'll look at the extractor bit.

Large SUVs are built on truck chassis not car chassis, so they're great for towing while a minivan is not.
I actually prefer my SUV over my pickup for towing, it's better suited for hauling the type of gear I need than a pickup, and it's also better on a slick boat ramp.  Unfortunately modern SUVs are trending lower on towing capacity rather than increasing. There's no longer a 3/4 ton SUV on the market so around 9,000 lbs is the max towing you can get anymore.  Which is why I had to get a pickup for the new RV.

Sounds way more complicated than using the extractor bit which is designed specifically for this purpose, but whatever floats your boat.  :)
I have multiple sets of extractors, if I didn't I guess I might consider a different way?  But it's not like extractor sets are expensive...

or you use acetone and let it set in it for a bit, and remove the softened glue with a paper towel... your wife will wonder why you have an allen key in her fingernail polish remover, but you can tell her it's Drew's Fault.

CD where did that come from?We went from nitrogen filled tires and screw extraction to horrible Hungarian mid '40's inflation  :017:.There wasn't even an attempt to disguise that thread hi-jack   :bluegrab:

So the wife's car has nitrogen in the tires. Can you switch back to regular air?
Badger started talking about inflation before I did, so my post is NOT a diversion out of the blue, at all.
I resemble that remark as I am well known for not ever mostly diverting typical threads usually into other areas for the most part.
