Took a rifle in trade that someone stripped three of the four the hex head screws on the rings. Before drilling the heads off, I put a #15 torx bit into the chuck of my drill press, centered the screw, and turn the chuck by hand as I kept downward pressure on the bit. The torx bit "bit" into the stripped hex head screws and they backed right out. I know that this is just a sample of one, but it worked so slick that I thought that I would share it.
