Hi All, I'm brand new to this hobby. I recently purchased a 2nd hand Celestron NexStar 130 SLT. My problem was when attempting to collimate the scope, the 3 small recessed Allan screws on the secondary mirror just wouldn't budge. The alan key would connect with the screw but as I turned it, the spider vanes would flex under the pressure and then the the allan key would pop out of the screw. Now after overdoing it I'm afraid I may have stripped the heads of these small screws as the Allan wrench just gives a tiny bit of resistance. If I have threaded these screws; is there anything I can do, or have I essentially busted my new telescope P.S I've also tried loosening the central Phillips screw but that is also extremely tight... Even trying a electric screwdriver on a low setting. I've just read that celestron advise that you should not touch this at all anyway..
