The set screw works by turning it, usually with an Allen wrench, but sometimes with a flat screwdriver. Turning it inwards (Clockwise) brings it's flat head against a shaft to hold it in place. These are commonly used to hold pulleys or other wheels onto metal shafts or rods.

How do you get a stripped delta set screw off?

This procedure will work on pretty much any stripped bolts and screws : get a Dremmel Tool with a thin round disk and make a slot on the screw. Next get a chisel and a small hammer and slowly tap on one end of the slot (the direction the screw comes loose - which is counter clockwise). After you see the screw breaking loose, get a slotted screwdriver and take the screw out. With a little patience you'll succeed. Promise !
