So I've got a stripped screw, previously I've removed them with screw extractors but this one is a little tricky. However whenever I tried the dremel with cutting wheel my slot would be way too wide and the screw would break with little torque. I think this might be because of the cutting wheels I'm using. So what are you guys using that does work? Any part numbers or links would be helpful!

Try and cut a small slot and get a blade screw driver/hammer and give it a good smack to loosen it.
 
I use these..never used one for a stripped screw though hope you get it out.

This has worked the best for me as well. I cut a very small divot on one side of the head of the screw thats stripped. ( im going to assume that when you mean stripped...it means you wallered out the allen hole )

I then take a small hammer and flat head screwdriver and tap the divot i made thus loosening it enough out to grab it with some pliers. Hasnt failed me yet.
 
I didn't know such a thing existed! That ez lock looks amazing. I put one in the amazon cart 😂
Just recently an allen would splip on the screw of the servo saver. Drilled with a left-turning milling cutter to get out scew. That screw got destroyed in the process. Then I could hammer the rest through the chassis. And with these pliers could then remove it.
Also works great on motor mount screws. I changed to spax on those on most rigs.
These pliers work really well.

I use the thin cutting wheel in the dremel but heat it up first if you can if that don't work I normally drill the head of the screw and take the part off the car then get some mole grips on the thread that's still sticking out (y)
