[CAUT] Stripped keyslip screw

[Paul T Williams]

Yes, and you'll need to "glue-size" the hole, or plug and re-drill a new 
one.  It's very simple but proceed slowly to minimize wood damage.

And, if you use a reverse-twist drill bit the screw may come out while 
you're drilling. (See McMaster-Carr, etc.)

Buy an easy-out of the appropriate size at the hardware store.  It comes 
with a drill bit and an reverse threaded screw.  Use a sharp center punch 
at the middle of the screw head to center the drill bit,  Drill a hole in 
the middle of the screw.  Gently screw in the easy-out, counter clockwise 
and the screw will come out.   Bob.
