What would be the best way to get it out without damaging anything.
Phillips head is buggered out. I have tried WD 40 andvice grips to no
avail.

This is on a small engine. I tried a propane torch and vice grips too
but did not work. I have aceytlene but was a little afraid I might
damage the cylinder or something?

I bought a bolt extractor from HF. Have not tried that much yet.



Use an impact screwdriver as mentioned above. It can be embarrassing how
easily stuck screws come out with one...
