I think I rounded off set screws,any ideas how to get It off now,drill it out,or what.

If they’re traditional set screws for use with an Allen wrench, you could try torx bits. One might have a closer fit that would bite better and you could back the screw out. I do that sometimes. If not then an EZ out might work.

When I had to take mine off to install the stainless steel trim kit, I stripped the bottom of the two stacked set screws, it was really frozen in there. I tried penetrating oil, screw extractors, etc, but in the end I had to drill it out. I nearly choked at the cost of a replacement, over $100 since you had to buy a whole new handle kit. I even called and emailed a few places, but I couldn't buy just the pawl part that the set screw screws into. Anyway, I re-tapped the hole to the next size I could find which was 1/4-28 and put in the bigger set screw to save the $100 + dollars for a whole new handle kit. I used a stainless steel setscrew and put anti seize on it. It's seems fine so far, but if it doesn't hold up I'll have to bite the bullet and buy a new handle kit.
