Yesterday I tried to take my side panels off, I all the little rivit pin things out easily, then i went to go get the allan screws out. The left was hard to get out but I got it out without stripping it. The right one wouldn't move, and it got stripped. How do I get it out?

Get a pair of vice grips around it.
Take a Flat head screw driver put it on the side point left and hit it with a hammer and try to spin it.
Pound a bigger allen into it.
Cut a slice in it with a dremel and put a flat head on it.
Drill it out.

Just some ideas

Try switching from a metric to a standard allen wrench some of the sizes are close enough you can pound one in, try gripping it with a vise grips or grind a slot in it and use a flat head screw driver.
