Crazy Achmed posted:Speaking of foil, my main weapon has a sticky tip (takes excessive force to depress the tip sometimes). I went to open it up today and clean it out, but the grubscrews are so badly bashed that the screwdriver slots are more or less filled in. I could get a really small drill and try to drill the buggers out - they're Leon Paul ones so are more like epee tip screw size - but I'm afraid I'd slip and smash the tip. Am I poo poo outta luck here as far as non-destructive repairs go? One time when I was in that situation I forced a particularly thin screwdriver into the screws, and I just kind of brute forced it to get just barely enough traction to unscrew them. If I couldn't do that I would just apply some gun oil to the tip to make it a bit less sticky and just keep using the weapon until the screws fall out on their own... which screws tend to do on over time anyway. You could try drilling it out, but if I tried that I would probably end up stripping the tip and damaging the barrel. You would probably want to try every other option first, unless you are really confident in your drilling.
