Remove stripped screw on MAF sensor

[NathanOfSeattle]

Hey guys, one of the two screws on my MAF sensor is completely stripped. I removed the thing next to the MAF sensor in order to get enough space to try to remove the stripped screw using a Grabit set I purchased. The thing is, there isn't enough space to reach it with my power drill. So I had to attempt to remove it using the Grabit set by hand. Unfortunately, that did not work.

Now I'm thinking I need to remove the MAF sensor so that I can attack the stripped screw with my power drill, again with the Grabit bit. Does anyone know how to remove airbox that the MAF sensor is connected to so that I can get enough clearance for my power drill?

Many people have done this including me. I cannot remember exactly how I removed the airbox but it was very easy. I think all I did was pop the vaccuum hoses and then pull 4-5 bolts. I would try using a dremel to notch what is left of the head and then a short screwdriver to get it out. Also search this forum for several other posts on this. In one of them I post a replacement screw with a hex head from home depot.
