need advice on how to remove yoke cover on Star Wars

I bought a 3/32 security hex bit to remove the 4 screws holding the yoke cover on. Unfortunately the bit isn't working. I'm not sure if the bit doesn't fit or if it is mostly due to some stripping of the hex part of the screw.

Anyone have any advice?
thanks,
Shawn
 
Star Wars - Removing hex screws

Ok. I just did this the other day. You are correct. the hex bits over time do not grab. They strip easily. Here's how to get them off and then get a set of 4 new screws.

Use a dremmel with a cut off bit. Cut straight down to the center of the screw. This makes a perfect horizontal line. Use a flat head screw driver and voila! It's off!.

The security bit I used was labeled "CR-V T10". It fit perfectly...

I don't know if that's the same as the 3/32 you used.
