Joining in to ask for at least T8 or higher on the Torx screws please! :D

I have one torx in the handle of a Byrd Caracara2 that is stripped & I can't get it out. I thought about drilling it out but then decided I'd mod a Tenacious instead :P

Also in my defense, 2 out of 3 of them were already loose to begin with so even aside from the blade centering they needed some attention, and they stripped in the process. I have good quality bits and used the proper side, they're just too easy to strip.
Did the knife not have loctite applied to those screws?

A couple bucks at a knife hobby store; a few spare parts from years of tinkering; a dremel tool.

Now, Military, Paramilitary I and Leafstorm all T8 construction! YEAH. I killed the #6 torx. Took a few minutes, and was pretty simple. Even did a Benchmade and a Zero Tolerance.
