I wrecked the phillips screw head on the darn screw that holds the wire for the stator. I need to get this screw out. If I took it to the local Yamaha dealer service dept, do you think they could get the screw out without stripping the threads in the engine cover? Or am I scr-wed?

I'm sure they can. 2 ways to deal with this problem.
1) a reverse drill bit will drill into and try to spin out the screw.
2) you can carefully cut a slot into the head of the screw with a hack saw blade or a dremel wheel and use a flat head screw driver head on an impact driver.

I've Dealt With this Problem Many Times, I Have Forgotten the Name of the Extractor, but you local Auto Parts Store Should Know, Many of the Comments Made Above Are Very Good.

Lots of good answers here. I've used the hacksaw trick myself to get screws out when the heads get stripped. Take the old screw to the hardware store and get a couple that match... and don't forget to use the right color of lok-tite when putting it back... or else the problem will surface for the next guy!

I think Sears sells a special bit made especially for this problem.It bites into the head of the screw so you can just back it on out

If the screw head is still intact and there's room to work, you could grab the screw with a pair of vice grips and loosen it.

Go to a tool outlet and buy an EZ-OUT
It will have the drill size on it, drill the hole, insert ez-out, and back it out.

I'm sure it can be removed with a small drill bit and an easy-out.

Goto sears and get a set of "Screw-Out" extractors.
