So I finnaly decided to change out my string height screws on my 2001 American fat strat. But I am having a pro lemon removing one of the screws. The screws have never been changed out and I ran into.a problem with a few but the last one is being well a $@!&*. I cannot for the life of me get this screw out of the saddle. I don't have the Allen wrench that fits it but somehow I don't think it would help anyways at this point. Any suggestions. Please reply quickly for I am playing a gig this evening

if enough is exposed on the underside you can twist it out from the bottom with some needle nose pliers. but its going to ruin the screw threads if you do it this way

I have been trying needle noses for the past 2 and a half hours lol. Any other suggestions?

a new saddle? Jk you may have to drill it out..... but try soaking it in wd40 to lubricate the threads. or if you have a dremmel you can cut a slot in the underside of the screw and try a Flathead, but you run the risk of breaking one side off or breaking it flush with the saddle, if you cut it to wide and deep.
