Usually when this happens to me on a customers lower I'll use vice-grips and some anti loctite I picked up (can't remember the name of the product now).

I would not suggest drilling on out the bolt as that's a lot more labor intensive and can damage the lower if not done correctly.

A hardware store may have the right screw and someone has offered to send you a couple as well once you get it out.

Another option is to use a mini torch on the inside and heat up the screws threads on the inside (very carefully and not for any length of time) just to burn off excess thread lock and help the metal move a little. I would consider that your last option before sending it into a gunsmith or someone like me that does trigger work on the scorpions.

Lowes has some interesting screws and nuts.  I forgot the name of it, but there are some interesting flush fit quick release screws,

My 2cents..... Because its a hex....get a star bit that is just barely too big and tap it into the stripped hex with a small hammer... If your able to use heat it will help a lot but be cautious of damaging other parts...if you can't use heat try rapping the driver with a small hammer as you attempt to rotate the screw.... Constant rotating pressure but don't go all mongo smash
I might know what im talking about....but today, I don't.....

Are we talking about the screw right above the trigger for the pack? That things welded, not loctite. You need to drill it.

Probably read the thread first  ;)
OP stripped the screw on a non-world legal.
