You need to heat the set scrlew up a lot to get them out I use a heat gun,to get out the messed up one maybe s small easy out or a reverse drill bitp
I use a propane torch ! its never on my stuff but crazy tight and or red loctite makes for one twisted up allen wrench :face-icon-small-ton

About 5 seconds with the torch on the set screw. I always do it that way and never have a problem.
Set screw
If you have stripped it and cannot get it out the that is when you get the air gun out and you spin the bolt until you can push bolt from other side out. Ruining Bolt and screw but works.
Heat is the key but some helpful info when you apply high heat Blow torch remove spring as not to heat up roller and ruin them. Sometimes it requires red hot heat to move due to lack of lock tight and causes them to rust in.
