Default What should I do?

I need to replace my TPS on my throttle body, and one of the two phillips head screw's head got stripped out. Should I just drill the screw? It's in pretty tight.

Seen that infomercial for that screw remover drill bit thing? My dad got it and says it work at least 70% of the time, hes a contractor and uses it about once a week or more.

But if you are replacing it, as long as you don't screw it up too bad I don't see the harm in just using a drill....

I was gonna say the same thing. The TPS screws are super soft and get stripped very easily.
