Best way to free up loctite???

Im using the losi wrenches since none of my good ones fit. I forget what size it is off the top of my head, but from my reasearch it looks like whoever supplies the screws for Losi cast the hex size just a little off.

OK couldnt get the heat to work. Looks like I will be drilling the screws out and sacrificing the mount.

WAIT!!!! There is another tool you can use. They are specific drill bits for removing stripped out screws. Here's an ebay auction with the info:

Its a double sided tool that fits in a drill. The first side drills out the top of the screw. Then you flip it over and reverse your drill. The second side looks like a tap. It fits exactly into the hole side 1 drilled. Side 2 sinks into the drilled out hole and removes the screw. I use mine a lot on my RC's when the hex head screws strip out. I bought mine at Sears were Craftsman sells them. You might be able to save your mount.
