Shoutout to the guy in Anchorage who showed me the trick with a zip tie on a stripped cowl screw.

That zip tie trick is a lifesaver. You just thread it through the screw hole, pull it tight, and use the tail for grip. I've had to do it on a plastic cover in a tight spot where nothing else would bite. Works way better than trying to jam a rubber band in there.
