 Has anyone else had this problem?

When changing straps on my Triton, I always try to be extra careful to get the lug tubes screwed back in correctly, but I guess I wasn't careful enough this last time.

Now, one of the tubes won't unscrew. It turns freely at both ends when I use screwdrivers, but the ends don't back out no matter how much I turn, so I assume it's stripped.

Any suggestions for what I can do to get the tube out (short of cutting away the strap and sawing the tube)? Should I take it to my local watch repair?

Thanks in advance.
