    Removing a stubborn screw.
    Hi:

    I am trying to remove a face plate for an electrical outlet. However, the central screw on the face plate just turns but does not come out at all! How do I get it out?

    Thanks,
    Kutra

    Be careful and try to pry the cover off the outlet. If the screw is stripped that bad it may pull out with a little force.
    If it's a plastic outlet cover you may have no choice but to snap it off and then you may have to replace the outlet if you can't get the screw out.
