putting together a board today and i totally, totally wore down the bolt slots. sure, it's fine now and the bolts are perfectly level w/ the grip and board - but these are so bad that come whenever im going to need to remove these trucks im not sure ill be able to use the screwgun to take them out. literally using the screwgun on a couple of the bolts catches absolutely nothing, it just spins.
any way one can remove the trucks w/out smashing apart the board in order to access the screws in order to pry them out? do you like my long sentences?

Get a hacksaw, cut the bolts.

left-handed drill-bits will do the trick.

if you cant or dont want to do the other suggestions you can always try to just use a normal skatetool and use alot of downward pressure. ive never liked setting up boards with drills

Take a screw driver, and a hammer. On each bolt hammer to screw driver into the stripped bolt to create some sort of grip, and remove on the other side with a skate key. I've done this dozens of times and it always works pretty well.

Really? I found it impossible to get the bolts flush with the mighty might of the screw gun. No matter how hard I pressed the little head of the bolts still insisted on popping out a little. I probably have more muscles than this entire forum as well. I think it's needless to say that I am fucking ripped.
I mean I bench at least 200 just when waking up. Before bed? 250, baby. 300 pushups before breakfast. 200 curls after lunch.

i must be magic then because i always use a just a t-tool and get all the bolts either flush or almost flush. then i skate for 5 minutes and tighten them and theyre perfectly flush

Screwgun meaning you used a drill with a screwdriver bit? I usually use a regular screwdriver and use the drill to tighten the nuts. But then again, I also usually get new bolts when I set up a new deck.

yeah that could possibly it... you can apply more force with a skate tool, versus me just kinda pushing it in w/ a regular screwdriver sideways. but im always hesitant about that kinda shit...skate hardware, to me, preys on the skaters who emphasize image over all else; like they absolutely NEED to have a logo on their bolts. who the fuck is ever going to look? thats the thing... i bought some of my parts at zumiez (im sorry im sorry) and a skate tool + hardware would've been 15 dollars. at ace hardware, bolts are 8cents each, and not only can you get a screw-driver and wrench; you can get the regular version of each. total of 3 dollars. and now you've got a wrench and screwdriver you can use for the rest of your life on literally everything. like honestly theres just that side of skateboarding that pisses me off, where prices for shit are so overblown because they have a "sick graphic" on them.
and yeah i know, im rambling.
but yeah, aojiru, i used an electric screwgun... i dont see the point in doing it manually first than screwing it electrically when you can just bust a nut and do it all in one swoop (electric).
but the sawing is good advice, thanks.

I don't do it twice. there's a bit you can get that you can use to tighten the nuts with the drill while you hold the screwdriver/hex key still. not sure what it's called though.

yeah, i feel you. get some shorties bolts and a t-tool from your local shop and it will be less than 15 bucks and last you forever with no problems

just blow up the whole thing

I just point at them in a menacing manner and then they screw themselves in if they know what's good for them.

Switch to Allen bolts too, as long as your key fits, they rarely strip
Everyone says this or uses Allen bolts and they've always stripped on me. Even when I have the right size. It's normal bolts for me all the way.

are those in the same aisle at home depot as the left-handed shovels?

by far the coolest suggestion.
