Right now I'm in a real bind. I tried this easyout thing called Grabit, and the tip broke off in the screw. So I put in a "call" to the maunfacturer of this product to ask for advice on getting that tip out. 

Otherwise. I'm all ears, and open to any suggestions.

PS. Please, I don't want to hear any "I told you so's". I've got a bad enough feeling about this already.

Wim,
What choices have you figured out so far?

 I'm taking the strings off a Steinway upright. One of the screws on the 
ressure bar is frozen. Before I realized this, I used a smaller screw driver, 
nd because the screw is made of a soft metal, the edges ripped off. I now have 
 larger screwdriver tip that fits the slot, but because the slot of the screw 
s worn off, (see picture),  the blade keeps slipping of the edge.
 
 What do I do, short of drilling out the screw, which would mean buying a new 
ne? 
 
 Wim
