update: many thanks to
keyl's dad who suggested a torx key... total success!
dear internets, please help! especially anyone who has ikea flatpack experience,
p_dan_tic i'm looking at you?
so i got this awesome shelving unit off freecycle but they forgot to give me the allen key to put it together with. chas improvised and used... a screwdriver maybe? dunno, but whatever he used or did has ruined the hexagonal allen keyness of some of the screws and now they won't come out. i'm moving tomorrow so they need to come apart, else my amazing shelves are lost & gone forever which i do NOT want to happen. do you know any awesome trick not involving a hacksaw that might help? i have got the proper allen key this time around...
ta!
