I was trying to pull out the yoke on my Stun Runner, and I discovered all but 3 of the screws are stripped to the point that I can't figure out a way to unscrew them. They are flat and recessed, so I cant grip with with vice grips, which is what I usually do in this situation.

The other problem I have is once I figure out how to unscrew them, I don't know where to buy replacement screws, unless I want silver ones. I would prefer to find black ones like the originals.

If anyone can help me with one or both problems, it would be appreciated. I have included photos.

Thanks.

Use a small dremel cutting wheel to make a slit going through it and then use a flat head screw driver to get them out.
 
Check your local fastenal, or grainger. They can usually get most any type of screw or bolt/nut, etc. Just bring one with you for a sample, and be prepared to buy a bag of 25,50, or 100, depending on how they offer the quantity.
