well if you stripped it, you probably wasnt using the right sized allen key. If its totally stripped and you tightened it really hard when you clamped the bars on, then I guess youre fucked. If your that desperate, try cutting off the clamp maybye.

Take it to a bike shop, they have these crazy things that dig into the metal so you can unscrew it. Or if worse comes to worse you could probably cut the bolt right in the middle where there's some space between the two sides of the clamp.

Well i did this with my clamp, but theres a tool you can get called a screw extractor or something? But anyways i was ready to cut through it when my dad helped me out big time and its this tool where you have like a drill and some special bit thing that drills new threads so you can back it out, not sure exactly how it worked, i could ask him tomorrow but it worked great.

thats deffinitly a bummer dude, like they said before take a drill bit the size of the head of the screw and drill it out and just get a new clamp.

I have a book recommendation to make to you:

Please use it before you make another post/thread on here.









oh yeah, and do what alex said: saw through the middle of the bolt and then unscrew it with a pair of needlenose pliers or something, because the bolt is fucked anyway so you might as well just get a new one at a hardware store.
