Stripped screw in stud removal

I know I shouldn’t have stripped it. I did. It’s 2.5 inches long and in a stud very tight. It was taking my entire body weight on this sucker to remove the one below it. I was going to buy an extractor kit but wanted to see what you think first. It’s not sticking out enough to get pliers on it. There’s about 1/8 inch behind the metal shelf holder and the wall. submitted by /u/ZaddiesRus [link] [comments]
