After installing my wideband, and confirming my belief that I was running rich, I decided to calibrate by Edelbrock 1409 600 cfm by changing the metering rods and jets.
The carb is about 4 years old, but the first jet I tried to unscrew only started to strip the brass jet's straight screwdriver slot. Googling the issue had suggestions like soaking in PB blaster and using an easyout, some even used heat. I wanted to hear what your thoughts are before I attempt one of the suggestions. Do easy outs come that small? Thanks Attached image(s)

You should upgrade to FI Mark. As a matter of fact. I know this guy with an LS1 motor with FI that is going to be up for sale soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . Seriously though best of luck with jets. I would think a little PB blaster would do the trick. The idea of using heat on a carb freaks me out a bit. I suppose you've got all the fuel out of it so it should be fine
