In the end i used Silver line Damaged screw remover 5 pc at £4.20 from Tool station. And is was easy. 10 seconds and the offending hex out. Replaced with a more robust item. Needn't had been so worried about such a job. Just hope i don't need to do again. I maybe booted out of the weight weenie club for replacing a light weight part for a heavier one
Thanks for all the help
