Just picked up a 1936 Philco 116B Tombstone Radio Today and need some info on it
#61

OK So I was able to get a hold of my dad's 1950s vintage Weller 100/140 Watt Soldering gun, and I was able to get the grounding braid unsoldered from the tuning capacitor retaining screws, and I was able to get all but one of the tuning capacitor retaining screws out of the radio, the third one is being a pain in the @$$ and won't come out because the head is stripped for some reason, because no matter which 1/4" nut driver I use to try and get that screw out the nut driver doesn't catch the head and it just spins around on the screw.

Any ideas on how I could go about removing this screw from the tuning capacitor assembly?

P. S. Even needlenose vise grips wouldn't grab the screw and remove it.
