with a badly damaged philips screw head which I can't get out of here.

The thing is entirely plastic in two parts. I don't care about wrecking
the
whole screw and what it goes into because I am happy to replace it.

I'd normally just grab the head with some mole grips etc but
cant get the screw unscrewed enough to get a grip on the head,
No easy access to cut a slot in the head and use a flat screw driver.
Guess it might be feasible with a dremel with a cutting disk. I have
both.


Soldering iron if you want to muller the whole thing


Only have the weller and dont want to **** it up and its only a pointed tip
anyway.
