The shower valve drips, so I decided to take the valve apart and replace the cartridge. BUT, the Allen screw in the handle turned back about 3/4 of a turn and then froze. I then really beared down on the Allen wrench to loosen the screw.
I think that now, the screw sides are somewhat stripped because the wrench popped to the next side instead of turning the screw.
What would you do to get the Allen screw loose that holds the handle on?
Or, do I need to get a saw and cut the valve off, keeping the main body that is in the wall, attached to CPVC, and get a new valve?
