Steve if you got a screw that is hard to get off and is stuffed beond it!!!
try this , I wouldnt use a impact driver the alloy is not that thick
I had one of those on the other bike no driver would fit any further so out with the heavy gear , disconnect the battery cover as much as you can of the engine get the old masking tape out and several layer later right around the screw you now get the Mig out and mig a 6mm nut through the nut center and onto the screw , you dont need much heat as the screw should now be loose and ready for you to unscrew using a spanner on the nut
good luck with with, its a simple job
What Model Duke had this engine side cover ???

im with ya man-i think we all know most other part sources
im sure everyone shops around for best prices etc
when does a forum become a marketing tool? i guess when some one picks up the bill for it-so i can see his point-censorship,in my opinion is a dangerous thing ,open to personal interests.
since joining this forum i have followed numerous links and found a wealth of info-i thought this is what it was all about
cheers steve

Back to the clutch adjuster cover screws, I have had success loosening slotted screws by using a longish strip of steel that is the same width as the screw slot. Place the edge in the slot and use the length as a lever, if you're lucky it will break the bond.
The bodger's method is to use a screwdriver with a square or angled shaft, then try to turn it with an adjustable wrench. Sometimes it works, sometimes it slips and makes a mess.

If the screws still have a slot enough to get a good bite with use a hammer and rap the screws firmly and rapidly then use a good fitting screwdriver with a hex bolster or a square shank to fit a wrench or visegrips to provide leverage. Heat from a propane torch will help too. It is the friction from the countersunk head that is making the screw so diffucult to remove. Rapping the screw will break some of the bond that has occured from all the hot/cold cycles. If that fails use a 1/4 in. drill on the screw after you carefully centerpunch the screw.If you have done it right you will have a nice tapered washer on the bit and no damage to the cover. The remains of the threaded part should wind right out. It is an easy[two to three beer] operation.
