Stripped bolt

Ive like messed up the screws on my board (dont have a clue how), but now i cant loosen the nut to switch the trucks.

Its hard to explain, but how can i get them off? they are too tight, and the skate tool little thing cant actually lock into the star of the screw. Any ideas?

Sounds really grommy, but yer help me out.

Drill into the top of the screw, the head of the screw will pop off.

If you fck up, and drill into the wood then yes. One way to avoid that is 'don't fck up and drill into wood'. Use a fine drill bit and keep increasing the size untill the head pops off.

So just drill into the star thing?

or go to a work shop and find a rattle gun that are used on car nuts i guarrentee that screw will disappear as soon as you pull the trigger

if you can get your hands on visegrips (locking pliers) and lock them on to the head of the screw, it might be safer to try that first

What do you mean? And just try to pull it out with the pliers?

nah just lock it onto the head of the screw to hold it then use a spanner or skate tool to undo the nut on the bottom
