Getting ready for the replacement modules for my cracked Nitrous X Modules (http://www.martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?t=4031) to arrive, I found the recessed socket head of the center pivot screw to be stripped. In fact most of the were tenuous at best. Mor evidence that the ham-fisted goober at the old pro shop we used should have his wrenches and nock pliers taken away from him. He's probably working at a Sp*rtm@n'sW@r&h*^se or a B@ssPr*Sh*p now anyway...
Now, this may be the wrong way to do this, but it worked well for me.
I held the cam in my machinist vice and judiciously applied an abrasive cut-off wheel to the screw head until I had penetrated down below the shoulder of the screw head and into the shaft.
The (now) two halves of the screw head can be easily removed and the module lifted right off the assembly. The remainder of the screws shaft twisted right out with light finger pressure.
