Hey everyone, I did something dumb! I want to remove the bottom-middle screw from my Octatrack (just so my tape strip with scene names would lie nice and flat) but I think I damaged the head by using the wrong key size… I did find the right hex key after all and managed to remove other screws but now the one that I want to remove won’t budge. 
Any ideas on how to overcome that annoying yet minor issue? Thanks in advance!
Oops. No fear. Use a torx bit that wedges into the damaged hex. No more screw and flat tape away.
You can carefully cut a slot in it using a dremel rotary tool or small hacksaw - although be very careful and protect the surrounding area. Then use a flat bit screwdriver to remove the screw.
Doesn’t look too awful, I reckon the right sized torx bit should find something to grip onto.
Thanks a lot everyone! I don’t have a torx small enough in my toolbox right now but I’ll go the shop later today. Hopefully I can avoid the hacksaw solution. 
I really appreciate the help, I love this community! 
Had something similar a while back with an MD, for more friction put a elastic band between the screw and screwdriver, this might help a little.
In my case it did not and I ended up drilling out the head of the screw, a long and not really nice process
I wouldn’t cut sick with a dremel just yet. Be sure to cover your screen real good and put some grease on the screw to help collect the tiny debris that you don’t want all up in your OT’s guts. Definitely a valid response and it works very well but I think you’ll pull that out easy peasyewith the torx bit.
If you have the right torx, tap it with a hammer one firm but gentle time. And try to clean it as best as you can before.
Yes that elastic band trick works well.
I posted about cutting a slot before the pic was up, in this case it does not look too bad, cutting a slot is a last resort.
Thanks again for the advice, no luck with the elastic band unfortunately but I’m going to grab some torx head! I’ll let you know how it goes. 
Just had another thought???
If your steady you could use a hole punch on the edge of the tape where the screw is? That will look cool as if you get it right? Just a thought.
Be careful with hammers. Torx will fit in with little convincing lol.
Yeah that would have been easier for sure! But now the screw is all scratched and ugly and I really want to get rid of it, lol.
Yes of course, but sometimes when you put a torx in noodled hex screw you make it worse, the torx needs to sit very tight. If you tap it with a hammer you make sure that the bit is set and level and you do not slip while turning. A hammer can be a tool of precision to 
If you feel good about it you can also try this with a normal slot screwdriver if it is the right size.
