Slysz Bowie Issue...please help!

Cleaned it...still sticks. Decided to play with it for another week to see if it works itself out before I send it in.
 
What T-wrench is the pivot screw, Please?
I have a NIB Slycz Bowie. Was going to take it apart to take pics of the lock-bar face, but rounded off the "socket-head" of the pivot screw badly and couldn't budge it. I'm shafted,,,and the darned Bowie stuck my thumb in addition. So much for trying to help...
Yeah, I know...my fault. Stupid, et al.
:) Bad Day at Black Rock...

Ah I'm sorry about that man! That blows. The Taichung screws are notorious for being soft and easily stripped. I took mine apart VERY carefully using a T8 for the pivot screw and a T6 for the body screws. You may need to warm up the pivot screws by boiling it in water to warm up and break the locktite if there is any on the threads, I just had to do that with one of mine. Thanks for trying to help though!! Hope you can still get it apart and they screws aren't totally fucked! A T9 may fit now if theyre a tad stripped, maybe try really shoving it in the screw with a super level hand so it's really snug? Godspeed.
 
Pink, thanks. Obviously, it's not your fault.
I guess I was just plain careless, and/or ran into a tough pivot glue-job...
I had forgotten that those pivot screws are loctited in so that they don't loosen up easily. I won't forget again.
