    Yes, those are 2.5mm. If you used a 2.5 and turned but they didn't come loose and aren't stripped, try putting a small drop of 3 in 1 oil on the threads where they enter the back of the string block/saddle to "unbind" them. Also, with the JT6 those funky string blocks tend to seize if left sitting for long periods of time so a little oil there may help as well to loosen them.

      This was what I was thinking as well. Cheap solution (as long as you have the dremel & bits already) & I think you would be able to do this & still be able to use the allen keys as well.

        Maybe.Those locking screws are hard to find I have a set I bought of ebay that are aircraft grade steel just not used them yet.I find just cutting the slots in the head works so good I haven't had to replace them yet.Good for another 20 years or so.
        Really? well screw Mark Twain.

          Well after inspecting those screws I find that they are not eaten in the head at all and look in superb condition, the size should be maby 2.6 instead of 2.5, 2.5 leaves a little space.. so before I'm going to use a dremel on those heads I'm gonna look for a different size allen key in a professional tool store. As I am convinced that they are different size.. I even tried to use a mini hand saw on the head and it didnt even scratch the metal.. they are super strong screws it seems!

          Well hope I find the right key.. And I thank you all for the good ideas

              I believe that they are the original screws to this bridge. My hand saw is really small and thin.. really really thin, almost like paper.. its the kind you use for wood and soft metals when you are building airplane models. I bet if I had a thicker size saw it would go through immediatly
