In a Google-free moment of lucidity I have just recalled that it was a herd of buffalo stampeding, not zebra but the point is still valid, I guess. if you aren't zebra-centric.

Take it to a machine shop, if cost effective.  Chris Harris has a video on getting these screws out, but late now for that info.

OK, so you got one screw out, but not the other.
I wouldn't worry about it. Leave it alone(unless you now have a hole completely thru it to the oil cavity).... Reason being..------ you will have 1 to hold it in place WHEN the rear wheel is OFF the bike.
When the rear wheel is ON the bike you will have the 4 wheel studs holding it tight..........
That 2nd carrier screw isn't going to hold it any tighter than the 4 wheel studs.

I hadn't thought of it like that. Hadn't even crossed my mind...

Truth be told however... where do those holes go? Is their gear fluid behind them? If so I need to open it up because sureley their are metal shavings that fell back there....!!!!  :mbird

Well, if you have yourself a small pocket screwdriver, poke it in the open hole and see if it bottoms out.
I've had my rotor off and wheel off and have never noticed oil leaking out of the holes.

That sucks...

:(
  :yow
well Ill take the cover bolts off after I make a concoction of the Anti-freeze and the Acetone. Going to try that on the frozen fill plug...

I think you mean Automatic Transmission fluid.

 Thanks for the correction.

 I'm gonna read my manual and see if seals inside the final drive can be replaced with what I have in my garage. After I open it up I'm gonna send it out to have those holes tapped and drilled and just do it right the second time around.

 I think I'm going to forgo the k75 Pistons this summer.  I'll do it next summer.


 I want to thank everyone for their advice.   Hopefully ATF fluid acetone, torch and just a little old fashioned patience will help me with the fill plug on the gearbox.

 If I have just as much of an issue with the fill plug, my only way to prevent metal from going into the transmission would be to drill it out upside down. Haha

If you have to drill out the fill plug, the time to do it would be while you have it opened up and other parts out to the machine shop.... or let them to it also while they have it.
