One of license plate screws is stuck
 
hey guys..

just picked up my Z today and trying to remove the ugly license plate frame with dealership name on it. the front frame came off easily, so did the left screw of the rear frame. however, I could only loosen the right screw by about 1/4 of a turn then it got stuck. I tried to turn harder and the screwdriver was eating into the screw ... anyone ran into the same problem b4? what should i do? :mad:

Is there enough room on the bolt head to use vise-grip pliers?

It's always better to have good head before you screw. Glad things didn't get ugly for you.
