stripped screw
Tried adding a little front brake fluid to my A19 and immediately
stripped one of the two screws holding down the cover. True, I was
in a little bit of a hurry to get back on the bike and ride in nice
weather, but that screw stripped like it was made of wax. Now I
guess it has to be drilled out? Risk of metal shavings dropping
into the resevoir? Its stripped smooth at this point.

stripped screw
When I read on this list that those are made of "cheese" I went and bought SS
hex socket replacements (for my brand new '04...). One came out nice'n'easy.
The other stripped like yours, so I carefully drilled into the center and used a
small EZout to remove it, so I replaced them on my other bike (Suzuki) too.
The 6 on the Bandit came out nice'n'easy so there's DEFINATELY difference
in quality!

stripped screw
Hello Ed,
I was a metalsmith in the Navy and had to remove thousands of screws on
aircraft. One of the best techniques I learned in the Navy, was to try
tightening the screw ever so slightly, before you try removing it. In
most cases this will break the set on the screw and allow the screw to
be removed
easily.

KLR250not,
Not sure but I think you're talking about the threads in the reservoir
being stripped. If so it seems to me you can probably put the master
cylinder in a horizontal orientation and then wipe the top sealing edge
dry. Cover the reservoir with tape and then only work on the stripped
screw. I'm guessing you can probably very easily go to a slightly larger
diameter screw without problems. Just make sure the hole is deep enough
for the tap and for darn sure keep the tap straight. I'm guessing it's a
10 minute job when you have the needed materials on hand.
If you were talking about the screw head being stripped I think the
dremel tool to cut a slot, mentioned in an earlier post is the way to go.
Best,

Its the screwhead so I'll go with the Dremel approach (tomorrow).
Good tip from Tengai Mark I think it was.

Sears also sells screw extractors, look kinda like a left hand thread
drill, but only has the cutter tips to bite in and back out that screw.
Never tried them, just noticed them in a flyer they sent me.

threads, so hope when its time they come out)

A good reason to keep a selection of worn down, but still good cutting
discs. I've used this trick on many stripped out phillips screw heads.
