Happy to hear of your success!!!!
However ball end hex wrenches are not something I would recommend for stubborn hex socket screws. The contact area is greatly reduced.

To echo the words of JPG, I am glad to hear that you are now able to make saw dust.
You probably have already done this but I would suggest you run a bolt back and forth in the screw holes to clear the threads and to get new screws for the inserts.

As a retired Seabee you have countless problem solving experiences. Thank you for you service to this nation.
I too am glad you have overcome this obstacle and are making sawdust. May your Shopsmith bring you great joy.

Now back to the original post. Have you gotten the table alignments completed. It is very important that this be done. A poorly aligned table system can be hazardous to your physical well being.
