Am I The Only One? "A DrPhang Gripe"

[notdrphang]

Ok the SHO has been down for a few weeks now. I finally limped it to Autozone to check the codes and it seems I have a faulty TPS. So I get a new tps and go to replace it. No big deal right? Using my wonderful anti-strip screwdriver bits that NEVER let me down, I poped the first screw loose. Went to remove the top screw and it TOTALLY stripped instantly LOL.

So once again a simple 2min job becomes another marathon shrug

I hate those damn screws. They always strip. I've just gotten accustom to changing them when I change the TPS. You're not alone here.

We are here for you.

I forgot...

Do you have any tips for removing that screw, with out doing any further damage?

Take a dremel with a cutoff wheel and make a slot in the screw head.
