A previous owner stripped the hell out of an upper playfield screw on my WPT.
Whats the best way to get this screw out without damaging the plexi (it already has small cracks)?

Superglue your screwdriver to the screw. I think I saw that on one of them there Pinball Tech videos with the guy with the hat.

Screw Grab. (Sounds like a night club maneuver at closing time)
Watch the videos. Pretty amazing stuff.

Get a high quality screwdriver like snap-on or mack of the right size. Looks like #2 and press down firmly upon removal and it should come out easy......WORST CASE... tap the screwdriver on the end to shake the screw loose and seat the screwdriver if it proves difficult to extract and works for me everytime.
If it is only clear...Its no great loss as you can make one easy enough from basic clear petg stock from your local plastics store/shop.
Good luck. I am sure you will have no trouble.
