Ap Diver v3 threaded lug screw - HELP!

[versace]

Hi guys,
I removed the strap on my AP Diver v3 to put on the bracelet then decided against. When i tried to put the strap back on it was a NIGHTMARE!!
I used the same screws in the same lugs but they just wouldnt go in. Anyway, I got 3 to fit in the end but i really messed up this last screw and the casing.
I can order new screws in but i cannot remove this one, its jammed in and the head is stripped.
What can I do? Can I send it to someone who can help?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Geez....you screwed that up real bad.....literally.....I am sure you could get these spares from either Angus or Toro depending upon who you bought your V3 from....but mind you it'd be some time before you'd get them coz spares are not readily available......

I have to remove this screw first somehow.  There isnt enough of an edge to grab with pliers or even a nail clipper and the head will not hold a screwdriver

EZ-out, and be careful.

You really have to becareful with the lug screws and also the screws that hold the strap to the plots.  Using good jeweller screwdrivers is a must, not the cheap "bergeron" type you get from fleabay.  I had to bring mine to my watch smith to get one of the lug screws out and had to order another set through my TD who was able to source them through Noob factory. 

 

Looks like you can refinish the case, but the screw looks beyond repair and you'll have to source another set from your TD.
