Can you grab it with a pliers? If it’s already stripped that shouldn’t matter. A small vice grips works nice.

If its stripped yeah use Pliers.  
If you bought it 30 days within purchase you can return it to Yoyojam and they’ll fix it for you for free.

Be forewarned that you may have to grip down very hard with pliers. jhb’s advice about using a vice is the best course of action, if you have one.
