Question on Daiwa Reel part

[beezy]

Fellow tackletour members, I would like some advice on how to remove a screw on my daiwa pixy reel. The screw I'm talking about is "Drive Shaft Retainer Screw (A)" that goes screws down the drive shaft retainer piece. The retainer screw is messed up to where I am unable to unscrew it with my philips screwdriver. Is there a way to remove this screw or no? I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

No different than any other stripped screw. The old way would be to drill a shallow clean hole upon the screw top with a standard drill bit, then tap/chisel a flat wedge just deep enough to insert a flat head screwdriver for removal.

Nowadays we have easy to use reversed self tapping tips. They are really easy to use and the technology has been around for years, but recently become mainstream. A quick ebay search found listed below. Good luck.

Thank you soo much for the link GOOD YEAR 71. I'm putting an order in for that. And to TommyG for the Daiwa Screw of Death. It makes me curious if anyone knows if I can purchase a similar screw to replace this one albeit with the flathead instead of the philips head.

You can just buy the Philips screw and cut a groove in the head with a dremel before installing it.
