Is the set screw really tight or did the screw head strip because of a poor fitting wrench in a poor quality set screw?
Maybe a tight fitting Torx bit could be tapped with a hammer into the screw socket and liquid super glue added around the bit/screw junction. Don't get any glue on the flycutter body. Let the glue set really well then see what gives.
Yes, it is incredibly tight. I snapped 3-4 allen wrenches before it finally stripped it. When it stripped it was from using vise-grips to hold the wrench and tapping the vise-grips with a hammer. FYI, normally I'm not this abusive to tools. I'm guessing I tapped the hole to too tight of thread engagement and then it shrunk when it was heat treated.
