Hi,

Loctite prevents them from coming loose. However, you shouldn't have a problem removing them. How much access to you have to the screws which are stripped? I might suggest getting an impact screwdriver if there is room. Basically, you put the tool on the screw head and then hit the tool with a hammer. The tool then turns the screw the same time it is being pushed into it. The pressure from the hammer hitting it both jars the screw and keeps it from stripping. I attached a picture of one. Let me know if you have enough room to use one.
