    UM if you aint saving it, just scrapping. Just torch it with the trusty fire hammer. Or for pin point accuracy use a plasma torch.

    I am surprised no one has mentioned an easy out. I have used them for many stubborn screws and bolts... https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/...xtractor-Set-A

    I always use my dremmel with the cutting disc to score a line for the flat screwdriver. When the screw is in the corner as it is in the pic I break out with my trusted steel chisel and just one big hit it ussually shears the sloped sides off making a flat surface for the screwdriver. P.s. If that's what they did in the video sorry to waste your time, I didn't watch it, I was busy cooking and drinking beer. I love beer. Lol

    It's an old thread. If you go back to the first post and look at the picture it looks like a security screw. The problem is that from there on ... they assumed that it was an irreversible security screw.

    It's hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like a plain old security screw to me. One side might have been whacked with a chisel and a hammer cause it looks like the head was dinged up ?

    There might be a simple answer. Just get the right 3/8" socket for that particular head and zip them out with an electric impact gun. He could get through the hundred of them in no time.

    Yes it is an old thread. It's been over 3 years since he posted it so I'm sure he figured it out.

    Hey Pjost, how about an update?

    I ended up selling as is. Must have had bigger fish to fry.
