How do you remove painted, striped screws off old cabinet doors?
I am trying to remove the cabinet doors to my tiny laundry room. It's so closed in and thought if I remove doors it might open it up. Problem is that the hinges were painted over and I can't unscrew them all out. some I have successfully, others not so much. Won't budge. Any ideas for removing stripped screws can be so helpful.
