    Hi TruthHammer,
    negative easy-outs. The very name is a black lie!
    Half the time they don't work and t'other half they snap off in the fastener.
    Then you discover that the broken-off end is harder than anything except a diamond wheel so you can't even drill the fastener's end off.

      Also, if you have one screw out already try turning the screw and the regulator together to loosen. Sometimes that's just enough to bust it loose
      Plus one on everything Greg has stated.
