Default how to remove striped allen screw?

The gear has a dial with a small, striped allen screw. The tool is 1.5
mm. Any thoughts on how to get this off?

Thanks - Dan


Take the next-larger size hex wrench (if it's a metric, be sure to check
inch-sizes, too, for a close fit; if inch, check metric). Grind it down just
enough to jamb it in the stripped hole. Unscrew.
