dont use red thread locker! haha anyway you could use a dremel if you had one, drill it out the rest of the way, next time use heat and if you feel the driver start to give (jump) stop and check everything out precaution is the word here. use hex drivers integy actually has a set for around $20 and they work very well and have aluminum handles I even use the hex drivers on things other then RC. strangely though you dont see too many hex drivers outside of RC.

Those cheap "Dremels" are cheap for a good reason.

I have a friend who has burnt TWO out and they don't spin at speed even approaching Dremels. If you're gonna get one, get a good, REAL, Dremel... That's what I did and it's outlasted my friends for quite a while...

Find someone with a drill press. Easiest way I know.
