I stripped the head of the torx screw that holds the Cube's hard drive to the heatsink. Any ideas on how I can get that screw out. I stripped the top, where the torx 8 driver inserts. The threading on the screw is ok, just a matter of figuring out a way to turn the screw. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I believe Craftsman sells tools for this. They look like any other screwdriver, but have sharp teeth at the end that dig into the screw to provide enough torque to remove it. As for finding a replacement screw... I have no idea.

Two tips:

� If there is enough of the remaining head exposed, you could file a groove for a small flatbladed screwdriver ("jeweller's") to turn it.

� If the screw is not too tight, you could superglue/araldite a new head on
