Top wood removal ?'s

[Barber31]

I was almost done removing all the old wood and ran into a little dilemma. The screws on the front corner support bracket (not the 2 on the header side, the pass. side) are stripped and the main metal roof bows screws are stripped as well. Any suggestions other than just tearing up all the wood?

I'm thinking that's my only option but I know I'll prably ruin the surrounding metal on the bracket and the bow.

Hold the Dremel firmly and ease into the screw head so you grind a center pocket, then you could drill or continue grinding. With care and a firm hand you won't damage the surrounding metal.

That's a good one Tom. I'll try that. Normally I cut a x into the heads and chisel the pieces off but like I said I normally damage the surrounding areas. The pocket idea sounds better. Thanks.
