Accessing rotary bolt

[spyder]

I bought a beater AE for the barrels and early (Horne) ejector parts, and have everything disassembled except the bolt. The headless screw that links the bolt to the toplever shaft won't budge, and the metal around the screw slot is soft so I'm risking buggering it up. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Spyder the end of the screw that goes through yoke has a braded end.I use a motor tool with a pointed grinding stone and carefully grind the braded part away until screw will turn. Bobby

Bobby et al: The last one I did, I put the receiver in a drill press vise with padded jaws and used a drill bit in the drill press larger than the end of that machine screw, just to get it down to the point where it would move. Once I got it out, I dressed it up with a slightly larger drill bit yet. It worked very well. I have trouble keeping the tip of the Dremel tool where it needs to be. This makes a neater job for me.
