Primer port problem

I wanted to install my manifold pressure sensor off the #3primmer port on my ECI 370 engine and the Allen key head striped out while trying to remove the plug; I think they put loc tite on the threads... I'm debating on just leaving it alone And trying #4 or drilling it out and using a screw extractor. I have had extractors break off in the past and I'm a bit leary of going this route. Also dont want to get any chips in the engine. Opinions?

Thanks!

If the #4 plug comes out easily just use that. Same measurement either way.

I agree. Follow the easy path. If you decide to pull it with an extractor, buy a quality one, the cheap ones aren't hardened. Also, judicious heat will soften the loctite and make removal easier.
