I am doing a 5 lug conversion and have hit a problem.

I started to remove the CV joint from the transmission flange in order to remove the half shaft and stub axle. Unfortunately 2 of the pan head screws that hold the CV joint to the transmission flange have stripped so that the tool (allen key) just rotates in the screw head.

Anyone got an effective way to get these screws out?

Thanks
