Well, I had someone try to do a valve adjustment. When trying to open my valve cover, he stripped one of the things (i guess screw/nut,not sure of the right word). I am not sure if its torx or hex but he told me its stripped. I couldn't think of a way to get it out. Any input is helpful.

i done that also. it is very weak so you have to really careful. i just pulled it right back out with wrench.

what kind of wrench?

CAREFULLY use a dremal and cut a line across the head, then use a large screwdriver and rubber mallet (bang mallet on screwdriver as you turn it) and it should come out.

Who is "he"? I thought you said you were doing the job. Anyways... it is an allen wrench. Make sure you use the proper size. Torx is a star'ed fitting.

he = honda mechanic. he was trying to do a vavle adjustment at Fall Colors but stripped it. I haven't really looked at it but I need to take care of it. I will try your methods this weekend.

vise grips is another method, depends on how stubborn the bolt/nut is.
