Default Stripped dizzy rotor screw

Ok guys I was was trying to switch my cap and rotor from obd0 to obd1 cap and rotor and accidently stripped the screw. Any idea on how to take this off?

My vicegrips are too big. I have a dremel. How would I take it out with a dremel. Its stripped really bad! Should I just put it back together and sell it as a obd0 and buy a new obd1 dizzy?

just drill a passage for the screw so you can take the cap off. Then you can either unscrew with you fingers or vice grips for sure.

use a cut off wheel on the dremel. cut a slot across the head of the screw. use a flathead screwdriver to get it out.

Yea. I took it to my uncle and he broke it off. and used pliers to get it out. Now the Rotor doesnt fit the Dizzy for some reason. My friend told me it was a obd1 Rotor. But the rotor seems to small to slide in. Anyone have any idea. BTW how much are replacement rotors anyways and where can I get em?

cut a slit in the screw and then unscrew it with a flathead.
