Stripped Door Hinge Screw...

I'm trying to remove my Bug's door. Most came out OK. But there's a couple that 'keep turning'. I'm guessing they are stripped. I tried putting a flat screw driver between the hinge and post to put tension on it but no change.



Any trick or tips?

Use The Screwdriver trick you're using to put tension on it and DRILL the screw head off the screw with a large drill bit.

After that you're gonna need a new plate to screw the door to anyway, so be planning on finding a replacement .............
