stuck air mixture screw.... extracting and replacing..

well, i just could not leave well enough alone and now have stuck air mixture screw on one of the carbs... the screw head notch has started to strip so i will need to replace it..   the bad is now one side is stuck at about 1.5 turns out..  not sure exactly....

any thoughts on extraction and replacement... anyone have an extra  air mixture screw i can buy from them....

I would take the carbs off so you can actually see what you're doing.

Sorry, but I don't have a spare mixture screw.

If you can't remove the screw normally (with a screwdriver) I think i'd try to use a left hand twist drill bit and be very gentle. If you hit the seat the carb will be junk.
