loctited screws

Small allen heads stripout the heads because the turning pressure is too hard & too fast, using our fingers we can't help but do it, if you drill a small bit of dowel to fit the key into this gives you a handle for leverage too put a slow constant force on the screw, to defeat the Loctite use a small soldering iron(no solder, remove it) & heat the key while using SLOW finger pressure to undo the screw, take your time the heat softens the Loctite, if the head is stripedout do the same with an ezyout,I know heat expands but this works, 35 yrs as a bike mechanic has proven it.
