I was changing my optic out on my PDP pro compact. Taking my rmr off and replacing it with a 509t. I got one of the screws out but some how some way, managed to strip the other screw. I tried the “bigger” torque bit thing.. didn’t work. I then went to drilling out the screw…that did NOT work??. I need help!!! I don’t want to damaged my rmr!!

Since you've already started trying to drill out the screw you could look for an appropriately sized screw extractor.  The standard mounting screws for the RMR is size #6.

Alternatively, you could try a small amount of something like JB Weld to glue a bit into place.  That may not be an option depending on how much you've drilled.

I’m m not sure if I’ve gone too far. I’m going to the gunsmith today to see if they can get it out. If they can’t, I’m sending it to c&h precision
