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?

Take a philips screwdriver and gently tap the end with a hammer, drive the tip into the allen opening and try to create new grooves or a cross pattern that will grip the tip of the screwdriver enough to unscew it.
