Stripped bolts for keyless entry
 

Decided to try and remove the door handle today to remove plastidip and to wrap instead, but looks like the previous owner had beat me into taking the handles off..

One bolt was already missing and to my surprise, the two bolts that holds plate to the keyless button has both stripped heads.. tried to rubberband it but no avail!

Any other way to get this out without taking out an extractor?

Try vise-grips :ugh2:

Those screws pretty much always strip. Use the aforementioned vicegrips and you'll be fine.

Are you are saying that you don't have the handle off of the car yet? if so then you really don't have to get those off to remove the handle. There is a connector on that cable & can be unplugged to remove the handle from the car.

The whole handle. I figured out the cable and how to remove. Just the plate that is bolted down to hold the keyless button are stripped.
I will try the vicegrips. Thanks!
