  11. I've tried penetrating oil, heat, hammers, and other things, but the
  12. basic problem is still the fact that one can't exert enough force on
  13. a stripped screw.  Is there any kind of special tool, which when
  14. "clamped-on" to the exposed screw head, allows for the exertion of much
  15. greater torque?  Obviously, I've tried using the "vice-grip method".
  16. What I'm looking for is a more optimal solution.
