Default ground control coliovers screw stripped

spring is around the corner and i'm looking to lower my teg again. how ever last season i stripped one of the screws and find it impossible to get out. i'm guessing the only way is to cut the bolt and replace the collar. is there a specific name for this yellow part that the spring sits on? any ideas? i might try drilling it out and tapping it first. i'll call gc tomorrow but i didn't really see this part on their site. i would much rather replace it with the two locking plates than an allen screw. yes it is the gc/koni setup

Use an easy out or left hand drill bit to get it out. Shouldn't be too hard. Make sure to soak it in wd40 or pb blaster or something before hand.

i'll try that but i doubt it would work. only one is bad so far. i called ground control and they do sell the part separate but has to be phone ordered. $20 each, ouch!
