Drilling out stripped screws on my full tilts

As the title said, was trying to remove my buckle tracks. I am a completely competent person with power tools, but just my luck head breaks loose bucks the drill and puts the drill bit 2 inches into my forearm. So now I'm sitting here on antibiotics with a gaping wound in my arm, no arm movement/skiing or activities that get the blood pumping fast. Literally one of the lamest injuries ive had. Luckily I missed everything in my arm

dude sucks about the arm, but all those parts are replaceable and available online. You may be able to spend 10 bucks on spare parts instead of $$$$ on new boots.

I had stripped screws on my full tilts. Any ski or bike shop should have the tool to remove them. I think they do something where they drill into the screw with a bit and then get that to hold and spin it the other way to get the screw undone. Stripped screws can always be removed, might just be a pain in the ass.

Both pictures would probably be both as nasty as the other hahaha! And yah I figured that out, got pro form for it so its only like 3 bucks a set for the parts. And other homeboy that thinks I can't use power tools, watch yourself bud karmas' fickle hope you don't do something worse haha using drills for many years your bound to fuck up one way or another just part of it anyone that's done some construction work could vouch that
