Default Dash molding and steering wheel question

I've been searching around and can't find this anywhere. Does anyone know how to take this off and install the new one? I'm talking about that molding around my stereo that's broken on the bottom right. Not sure if its called a dash molding.

I have another from the junkyard that I want to put on but I can't figure out how to without breaking it. Any ideas?

Also the Allen wrench screws on my steering wheel are stripped. Anyone have any ideas on how I can safely remove it and install another one?

Dremel tool on the screws.. cutting wheel and steady hand make a deep slot in the screw.
Flat tip screwdriver them out.

Or.... get the correct size of allen head wrench.
Spit on the end of it and dip it in Ajax then try to take it out.
The ajax should bind enough to break the torque on the screws.
Works great on cross tip screws.
Old Army helicopter trick.

That front dash piece you need to get under the dash.
Remove the instrument cluster and black bezel you'll see the attachment points.
Be prepared to be on your back a while

I guess I'll wait until I get my new gauge cluster so I can swap it out all at once. I also have to figure out why the a/c control lights only turn on sometimes. Thanks for the info.
