Never stripped a yoyo. Had plenty of bearings go bad though. Just throw a new one in. ---

I haven’t broken any of my good yoyos yet, but in the past I’ve broken Butterflys and brain yoyos and I would just throw them away. I’d do the same with a good yoyo if I can’t reasonably repair it. ---

If you have a stripped axle on yoyo that you can take that axle out then just buy another axle and replace it or if the yoyo is really messed up then just have a collection of yoyos that you can look at like a art collection but thats for yoyos that is not a dollar store yoyo ---
