stripped allen wrench screws


My allen wrench screws the hold the cover of my Doge 6 CDP are stripped ( from two previous owners that were compulsive tube rollers)....any ideas on how to remove them without damaging the unit or should I send it to Pacific Valve and Electric?

BTW - screws aside, that is one great player. Best I've heard for the money. It's also cool in that it allows you to leave the digital section powered up and turn the tubes off. The Lector lets you do that too, but IMO, the D6 sounds better. (I've owned both) Enjoy some good music!
The screws on the D6 are supposed to be star, not allen. But when I had mine, a star wouldn't work and I had to use an allen. Pacific Valve was very suprised. Anyway, try a star before trying anything else. Oh - also, allens come in metric and US sizes, so you may have the wrong allen. Good luck and don't worry - stripped screws can be removed. Electronic repair places deal with that all the time if worse comes to worse.
