That is a great idea, I will try getting the screw out by drilling it. I have
another concern; there appears to be a plate behind the striker plate that the
actual striker screw, screws through and it looks like it is behind the frame
metal. Is this the case? If so, how do I manage to take the striker off
without losing this plate that is probably behind the actual frame metal? I
have never had a striker plate actually off a car before; just moved these
plates around a bit without actually removing them. Just something I thought
might give me more headaches, so that is why I am asking you; it sounds like
you have had experience taking these things off completely before. Thanks
again.

Back when I had weekly truck visits, they were in the catalog but not on the

It's such a happy moment when your bit jams and the bolt spins out of the hole
by accident.
Oops, I just checked, now those bits are $8-30 each.
And a set of five with matching spiral extractors is $85.
Anyway, the striker screws are flat heads, right?
You might be able to drill the screw out, take the striker off, and put
vice-grips on the stub of screw remaining.
Mitch.
