Holding the handle on? Hopefully it is not completely stripped. Spray some WD40 or other lubricant on it and let it sit a bit. It should be a Phillips head screw. Line up a screwdriver with what may be left of the slots in the head, hold the screwdriver firmly and hit the end with a hammer fairly hard. Do this a couple of times. Lean over the faucet and putting a lot of pressure on the screw try to turn it.
The handle bolt is the only bolt I can think of on a faucet. If it is totally stripped, you can get new handles for the faucet. Is there room enough to use a hacksaw to cut the handle off and then cut a new straight slot in the screw head. If you cut the handle off, you should be able to take the valve out of the faucet and heat it with a propane torch. Heating it will almost always loosen any screw.
Helicoils.
As with any answer...it depends, but try this: If the faucet is the single handle type, use an Allen wrench to remove the small set screw from the handle, (if the handle set screw has too much mineral build up, wrap the handle to include the set screw with a paper towel. Secure it with a rubber band; and then soak with vinegar and leave it for several hours) "Break" the seal of the set screw using the Allen wrench, and remove the handle.The remaining parts, under the handle, will probably have the same problem. Use the same process. At this point turn off the valves leading to the fixture (you may have to turn off the water at the meter) Continue dismantling, use the correct and appropriately sized tools. This should help but if your faucets have been neglected for a long time, probably plan to replace the faucets.Hope this helps...
what is the GPM rating from the old to the new the lower the GPM the slower the water. Sometimes there are restrictor discs (washers).
Some faucets use the water pressure to open the seal after it has been released by the handle. It may be that the seal is tight and slow to move after it has been released. One other thing to check, is your water pressure ok at this faucet.
A dripping faucet after the water has been turned off is usually caused by a worn-out or damaged washer or seal in the faucet. This allows water to continue leaking through even when the faucet is closed.
To fix a faucet leak from the spout, you can start by turning off the water supply to the faucet. Next, disassemble the faucet and check for any worn out or damaged parts, such as the O-rings or washers. Replace these parts as needed and reassemble the faucet. Turn the water supply back on and test the faucet to see if the leak has been fixed.

Basic physics, simply.
Installing a water filter on the end of your kitchen faucet is very easy to do and allows you to use filtered water for all of your kitchen needs. Every type of kitchen faucet water filter is attached in a similar fashion, though there may be some specific details that are different with your particular faucet or filter. Remove the Original Faucet End The first thing you need to do is take off the end of the faucet. You can usually unscrew it with your fingers. If it is very difficult to break loose, use a small wrench to give it a little more strength. Wrap a dish towel around the end of the faucet before you use a wrench so that you will avoid scratching the faucet’s surface. Once the end comes off, there may be some rubber washers that come off as well. Set these aside so that you can find them again later if necessary. Assemble the Water Filter Most faucet water filters are not fully assembled in the box. Take all the parts out of the box and put them together according to the instructions that should have been provided. In general, you will probably just need to put the actual filter into the filter housing so that the water will flow through properly. Do not use a great deal of force when you put the unit together. Most plumbing appliances are meant to be tightened by hand so that they can be loosened easily when you need to remove them again. Find the Right Attachment for Your Faucet The water filter will come with faucet attachments that are different shapes and sizes. Test each attachment until you find the one that screws on to the end of your faucet easily. Make sure that the attachment is lined up properly when you screw it on. Trying to screw it on at the wrong angle can make new impressions in the threads of the attachment, which will allow water to escape once the faucet is turned on. When you find the right attachment, put it on the water filter and then screw the entire assembly onto the faucet.
None. There are no "priveleges as a planet" to be stripped. And an inanimate object wouldn't miss them anyway. Pluto was recently stripped of its title as a planet. But it didn't lose any priveleges because of it.
