  1. RT-1250
Bummed. Just purchased rt 1250 and cross threaded bolt on the handle. I can’t remove it because screw got stripped in the process. Fortunately, it’s pretty tight. Any ideas on how to remove it? Thanks everyone.

Is the screw tight, if so just leave it. If it is just spinning around when you try to unscrew it, use a pair of pliers (needle nose) to apply outward pressure on the screw head as you try to unscrew it.

Thanks! That’s exactly what I decided to do. I am not going to mess with it until I have to. I was worried about smoke leaking from that area so I plan to apply some high heat silicone to fill in any gaps around the screw.
