I was installing a SRAM RED rear derailleur
and discovered that the bolt head had been stripped in a crash,
so the hex key wouldn't fit anymore.
Dammit! You've stripped it! (Title redeemed)
Now I get it—maybe that's why most modern rear derailleurs have their adjustment screws positioned at the back.
I think of SRAM's rear derailleur as
"a Shimano Tourney Super (シマノシュパーブプロ) with modern materials,"
but they didn't have to copy this aspect of it.
To avoid having to use a flathead screwdriver for adjustment,
I filed down the stripped part with a diamond file—
and it turned out I had just the right tool on hand to fit the slot.
Fixed.
