possibly try taking some paper, towel , rag or something and put over the screwhead and push the allen wrench down it might work or it might not

Bingo...problem is that its a recessed screw. It will be hard to get in there to cut the slot without cutting the grip. Use a dremel.

Allen? All of mine are T15 Torx. Hmm...learn somethin' new everyday.

Get a sacrificial Allen bit--or Torx bit-- and JB Weld it to the screw. Wait 24 hours and it will come right out, and not hurt the grip...just don't use so much that you JB the screw to the grip.

^^^^Use super glue, its much faster.

Instead of hammering the allen into the screw, you could try keeping counter clockwise pressure on the screw as you tap it with a hammer. This has worked for me on stubborn screws before. Just turn as you tap. Good luck with it!

Yes, super glue works well, too......as long as some mouthbreather didn't put loctite on the grip screws.
