Default Valve adjustment screw stripped!

Hey guys,

Last night me and my buddy were doing a valve adjustment and stripped one of the screws and now the nut turns with the screw as well.Do we have to remove the rocker arms to replace the screw and nut?

The adjuster threads out the bottom. you will not need to remove the rockers, but you will need to pull the 5 upper cam caps and cams to make the clearance you need to do so.

Thanks,we were able to figure it out!We ran into another problem.When we replaced everything and tried to put the rocker holder screws back,the second one from the exhaust side won't go in,something is now in the way!How do we fix that!
