1 The best way to remove a stripped oil filler screw? Sun Aug 28, 2011 2:25 am

Hi all,
With the 1984 K100RS all done, I've taken the plunge and bought a 1986 K100RT (ex-police bike), which I'm slowly bringing back to life.
That said, I spent yesterday stripping the bike entirely (back to two wheels, driveline and frame at this point), and as part of this overhaul I'm naturally going to refresh all the fluids and replace wear items like fuel and oil filtres.
When trying to remove the cover for the oil filtre, I got two of the three screws out, but the last one has been stripped by the previous owner.
Any thoughts on the best way to remove this stubborn bugger?
Cheers, Alex.
P.S. I've already tried vice grips, lock grips, chisel and hammer etc.
