Hello, title sums it up really.
The allan in one of my bikes top caps on the headset is close to completely stripped.
Normally I would take a chisel to it so I can fit a screw driver in and remove it like that, but that won't work as its recessed into the top cap!
How on earth can I remove it without knackering the top cap? I don't seem to have any torx bits!
My only ideas are to glue the allan key into it, or cut a few mm off the allan key so its unworn again and hope for the best!
Ideas would be very welcome
