I have a dripping shower tub faucet so I'm trying to replace the cold and hot water valve stems. I bought a shower valve wrench set to remove them but it is stuck so hard that I stripped the wrench. Any ideas? Much obliged!

Did you buy a single wrench or a set.  Sounds like you used a size that is slightly to large.
