What's so special about a Model A carburettor that you need to go to that trouble?
That said, I have had great success removing screws with stripped slots etc by using a product I bought years ago. I hope it is still available - mine is getting low. It is powdered carbide in a light oil (I think). The carbide particles provide grip between the screw driver and the stripped slot which is usually enough to move the recalcitrant screw/jet. It is called Re-Grip and was made by a company alled Re-Coil, an Australian company. I don't expect you guys in the US have exactly that product but there may be a substitute available. If there is, please let me know.
