Delta Faucet, Can't Get To Valve

[mikefixac]

Delta faucet in bathroom sink for cold water.

I've replaced these valves a number of times, but this time I could not get the allen screw loose and I stripped it out.

Any advice on what I should do now? Thanks in advance.

PS. The only option I'm seeing now is taking a saws all to it.

Use a torx wrench...one size bigger than the allen key you used

Drill out the set crew and go buy a new one

Thanks Matt and Shep. Yep, I was ready for a sawzall on that. I already took my hammer to it, I'm embarrassed to say. Please don't tell anyone.
