Started removing the transmission on the white '76 today and got stymied by a stripped cone screw. The front one was fine...but the screw at the rear of the car looked bad before I even started.

My search has yielded several options:
1. Use an easy out
2. Find the next size up allen head or torx bit and hammer it in. I tried that...didn't work
3. Use JB Weld and "weld in" an allen head or torx bit
4. MIG weld something on the screw (not an option..I don't have a welder)

Based on the latest and greatest minds, what's the best option these days?
