    Shower handle
    The handle in the shower is stripped so the water continues to drip after turning off, I purchased a new handle but the screw on the old one is so stripped it won't turn, how can I remove the screw?

    Drill out the head of the screw with a small drill bit and use an easy out, spray some WD-40 leave it for a few minutes to soak and try the easy out, good luck.

    OK! You have removed the handle . Is the stem stripped as well or can you attach the new handle? If the stem's strpped also they make handles to fit on a stem that's stripped. Let me know if you need such a handle. Tom
