I bought a used Elite bow and had to buy a different set of draw mods to get it to fit my DL. They finally came in, and I took the bow to a local shop to get them changed out, because it has to be pressed to change them out. There are six screws to remove. He was able to get five of them out, but couldn't get the sixth one out. Do any of you guys have a trick to get a stripped screw out without damaging the cam? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are the threads stripped or is the head stripped and what kind of screw?

It's the head of the screw, and it is a torx head.

If the head ain't stripped to bad a lil heat should do but take the cam off the limbs.
Could drill the head off and pull the mod then a lil heat on the stud and some pliers and it should come out.
If the threads are stripped may can chase them with a tap or drill it out and retap it or get a new cam if that ain't a option.
It should have a drop of purple loc tite and it usually ain't hard to break loose hopefully they didn't use blue or red on it

I haven’t had to remove a stripped one from an Elite cam, but I have on a few Mathews. The easiest would be using an ease out. As a last ditch effort, you can use a Dremel to cut a slot on the head of the screw then use a flat head screwdriver to break it loose. Doing this will most likely damage the mod you’re trying to remove though. Personally, I’d rather trash the mod than risk damaging the threads on the cam by trying to drill the screw out.

I have had success with a stripped torx head a few times. I went through my Allen wrenches , both metric and saw, and found the one that had to be slightly forced into the stripped socket. It had enough grip to get them out.
