So I stripped the main screw underneath and now can't take out the power module. Not only stripped, but jammed tight.
I have tried everything....rubber band, crazy glue , hammer trick etc.

Help! Where can I take this to get the screw removed?

I assume stores in La Belle Province aren't open today though.

These are the ones I used when I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago:

Once you do get it out, if you want to reuse the screw you'll need to cut a slot in the head, or you'll have to buy a replacement screw.
AWESOME!! This is exactly what I need! And it worked no problem?
I will have to go out tomorrow because, as you said, La Belle Province is shut down today for....well, you know.
Thank you!
 
They work like a charm. What you're supposed to do is drill out the head with the reverse drill bit and then use the extractor to bite into the hole and remove the screw. I have always found that if you go slow enough with the reverse drill bit, it will bite into the head and remove it - I've never needed to use the extractor end of the bit. It works best if you use a variable speed drill, use low speed and push hard on the screw. Remember to have the drill in reverse too. You might even be able to do it by hand.

Happy Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day.
