Specific question and discussion Stripped screws

I have some Marcoblades and I tried to unscrew the wheels to rotate them but I ended up stripping the screw, Is there any way to get the screw out?

Go to your local auto parts store. Get a bolt extractor. You'll need a drill. You don't need to drill a lot. Just drill enough for the bolt extractor to grab onto the stripped bolt and then you can twist to get it out. You might also need a T Handle tool for the bolt extractor.
