Easy out, drill it, replace the fuse box.

any way you can cut a slot(straight line) on top of the screw with a dremel and use a flat tip screwdriver to remove?

Unhook the battery first.....

Then drill that sucker out or use an easy out.

a trick i like that works fine on small fasteners with low torque- a spring punch (spring loaded center punch) on the outside of the head of the fastener. first make an indention then "push" it at an angle to get it to turn. I hope the graphic below explains well enough. I didn't spend much time on it.


I prefer this when working around electrical components because it eliminates the little metal chips from drilling the screw out.

A properly sized bolt out socket should do the trick

if you can still get a slot for a flat head to fix, then try a electric screw driver. Preferably a 18 volt. You'll need to bear down on it real hard, i'm talking all your weight and try to back it out. If that doesn't work you can still drill it out. It's about a 30 - 1 hr job to drill and extract the pcs of what left of it. By that point you can put in a new insert.

Use a dremmel and cut a slot in it, so you can use a flat head to get it out. You might have to cut into the sides of the fuse box. Not sure if there is a small enough cutting wheel.
