you get galvanic corrosion anyway when you have steel screws or bolts threading into aluminum. better to apply a non-conductive medium between steel and aluminum: teflon, nylon, ceramic, loc-tite, tef-gel, antisieze, etc. alternatively, instead of a screw use a bolt with stud and fasten with a nut.

Moi no sexpert but...chiu can spray it with wd40...soak for a while...then use screw extractor to remove the screw...better to mount it on a bench clamp thou...if tread r damage, use a tap set to re-tap the tread after...

To add on...basically tis is how a screw extractor work...

If you bring it down to workshop. Those doing machining it will cost about $30~50 to extra the screw that about 10~15min waiting.
Where u location? Or u just drive around industrail estate or those do metal work just ask them.
The screw damage because u use wrong tool.
I can see from the photo is allen key head screw. There are 2 standard size ( metric size and inch size).

I already stated that it can be repair by extracting the screw out without damage the screw thread.( from the photo is screw head damage not the screw thread)
Just need proper tool and method.
Where is your location . I tell you where roughly u area u can find cost about $30~50 to extract.
No one will mold for u. Is very expensive for molding (dont waste time and money on mold).

Not car workshop.
Metal workshop those do welding/cutting metal plat. Find those small company normally small unit in industrail area. Those big one will bo chap because they have lot of order and worker just follow up the job.

That why cant find local SG enginneer. Only small %
SG mind only throw away buy new or replce new.
Is not a hand phone can be change easyly. There are machine part maybe the machine is few million dollar because of the small part damage cannot run. Each hour loses few $$$ in manufacturing.
I work in many industrial from factory to oil and gas.

you are all wrong.the few contractors that damaged it are not local sinkie.
got 1 keleng,1 malaysian, 1 pinoy..all tried their own theory
when i came back from holiday..it turn out bad news for me.
over the phone, i ask them to think of whatever method they can think of..no need to wait for me come back.
i belong to the SG mind ( small % )
i never think of ordering a new mold ( take few weeks ).
i think of how to savage the situation,do damage control ,get it fix by the shortest possible time, before blaming the workers.
now finger point the workers also no use.
