Reddit reviews Alden 4507P Grabit Micro Broken Bolt Extractor 4 Piece Kit - Small Bolt and Screw Remover - Made in the USA

They have special drill bits for extracting stripped bolts. I used these when I did the same thing to the bolt down in my headset a couple years ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q60UOO

To remove the auxiliary tip, you could try to use something like this, which is used to remove small stripped out bolts. I don't personally own this set, but the smallest bit in the set is rated for 3mm, and I believe aux jacks are 3.5mm, so it should work well

I bought this kit for tiny screws. Worked great. I'd stripped the heads off some cheap screws used to attach an Aimpoint T1 to a mount. Took less than a minute to pull all three of them out.

you can also do your best to cover the board and cut a flathead line as well.

You can try to remove them yourself with a bolt extractor. Just make sure you soak them in PB Blaster to loosen them up and then heat them up with a torch before trying to remove them. They'll come loose. If you try to drill them out you could damage the hub.

The only thing that would prevent a (front) wheel turning are a sticky caliper or a seized wheel bearing. Temperature won't help there. I'd still pull the caliper to be sure it's not that, but if it slides freely move to the bearing. Thankfully the bearing isn't pressed in so it is a DIY job.

The shocks & springs are also a DIY job, but the bushings need a hydraulic press to remove them so unless you have access to one leave it to the pros or replace the complete LCA.

I bought a '00 C230 on a whim last year for $650 so I know where you stand. They're still REALLY nice cars even 16 years later, but they do need special care. Do a lot of research when buying parts as some vendors are significantly cheaper than others and avoid going to the mechanic when you can to save cash. MB's are very well thought-out cars, so the vast majority of the work can be done DIY, but be patient and do your homework.

Another thing I'd recommend is getting yourself an MB-specific scanner. Standard OBD2 scanners can pick up engine codes, but literally all other codes (ABS, TC, Transmission, etc.) will require a STAR scanner. Official MB scanners cost serious $$$ but you can get knock-offs from various Chinese vendors. The unit I got is a Carsoft 7.4 Multiplexer. It works great but you do need a laptop with a serial port running WinXP to make it run.

I'd give these a shot:

Here's an Amazon review showing how to use a larger-sized version of the same tool:

I phoned Apple first because I really don't want to drive 90 miles (roundtrip) then find out that they are not going to attempt to remove the screws.

I have a dremel and thinking to get this Alden 4507P Micro Grabit Broken Bolt Extractor 4 Piece Kit but not sure if it is going to help with the situation.

I have not tried the super glue or epoxy trick yet. Maybe I should try it first. Is there a specific epoxy that is quick dry that I can use in my situation you can recommend?
I have a Gorilla glue, but this is not quick dry.

Extractor kit

This has saved me a couple times already.

> The NVME screw is completely stripped. I am not confident enough to take it out myself. So you get my old 960 EVO for free I guess

I used this kit to remove 2 stripped screws from my 940. The smallest bit worked perfectly both times. Sadly I couldn't find the smallest bit on its own, but maybe you can. Careful not to extract too far as you may drill into the handle scale a little. It's also important to heat up the thread locker so the screw is freed up. There's instructions for use that also come with the kit. It says to remove the screw head but I never do, I just drill dead into the stripped screw and then pull it out.

A small bolt extractor like this could work:

aw man.. yeah it's really tough to extract stripped screws.. don't give up just yet though, there are extraction kits out there, even for tiny screws like this or this

That's super small, but this is likely the type of tool you'll want: https://www.amazon.com/Alden-4507P-Grabit-Broken-Extractor/dp/B000Q60UOO
