When I talked to Grand Design about this, their suggestion was to drill out the 1" #6 screw and replace with a #8 screw of the same length. They also told me their screws are zinc plated and suggested I use stainless steel.2018 Reflection 150 Series 220RK 5th whee, Star White 2022 F350 King Ranch CC Long bed (HAL) (CCC 4062lbs), B&W 25K OEM Companion,.

There is no way to drill the screw out and stay on target. You will then need to plug the hole - many options there.

You know with a dremmel tool and some properly sized steel or copper tubing and you could make your own. It just needs to be abrasive enough to cut through fiberglass and foam.
Could be wrong, but it could be interesting to try2018 Reflection 150 Series 220RK 5th whee, Star White 2022 F350 King Ranch CC Long bed (HAL) (CCC 4062lbs), B&W 25K OEM Companion,.
