Stripped screw

[blue302stang]

I was going to take the intake plate off of my stock intake and got 3 of the screws out fine, but the one i didn't get out now has a stripped head. I was wondering if there was a way to get the screw out?

You could try one of those screw extractors (stripped torx heads arent unlike phillips heads) or cut a slit into the head and use an impact driver with a straight (screwdriver) head to remove the fastener. Hit the fastener with PB for a bit before trying to remove it.

Good luck.

Or drill the top of the screw off very carefully and then lift the plaque up over the remaining portion (stud now I suppose)

I don't know where replacements can be purchased from though

I was considering using one of the screw extractors, but didn't know how well they worked. I already have screws to replace it. Since the screw is set down in the plague it makes it hard to slot it or cut the head off

screw extractors would likley be your best bet
