What did you end up doing to get it out?

My Piper's oil door screw did that last month.

Funny how the smallest screw on a plane can cause the biggest headache. It feels like everything built after 1995 is held together with hopes and cheap metal. You fix one thing and the next little piece is just waiting to fail. Makes you miss when things were simple and overbuilt.
