Replace with torx head screws. They are the most strip resistant.
Nothing is strip resistant is you to not seat the driver. If I had an apprentice that simply put in an allan socket or torx socket into a fastener and proceeded to round off the screw, I'd beat him like he should have beat the socket. :wtf:

One time when l raced motorcycles l wrecked a 1200.00 dollar mikuni flat slide carburetor with a drill ....lost my train of thought and drilled the wrong hole....ohh well sometimes it's just unavoidable .Worst case scenario is a new trigger
These triggers and bows are touchy especially with the loctite

Anthony, you probably haven't had to remove them since they started applying locktite from factory. I now hit the heads with a small butain torch before I remove them, (following Boo's advice/techniques above) that way there is no guessing whether of not they have sealant applied.

I did have one strip out on me earlier this year, and I was able to remove it by cutting a slot into it for a screwdriver. But again, as the screw was weaker now, I heated it up so there was no resistance and it slipped right out.
....why would I have had the reason to remove them in the past?.....the only reason I could think about Chris would have been to apply shrink wrap over the arra retainer....

..... I think i am just going to remove all of them and change out to the Ti64 titanium!
No sorry, I meant in the time since you've bought new bows they have started lock tighting everything from factory. Your assassins may not have locktight on the scope mounts. But your axes most surely do. Before they were relatively easy to remove, now you MUST follow Boos techniques and or add a bit of heat just in case it doesn't plan to come out on you LOL
