Redneck, that screw is about 3/4 of the way into the airbrush body, it adjusts the packing seal/needle bearing that sits between the trigger and the paint reservoir trough. So getting to it isn't real easy, you have to go through the back end of the brush, past the trigger adjustment section, past the trigger area, and then you have the now mangled head of the screw.

If you could find a friendly machinest or jeweler, they may have a setup that is able to take it out, however, if you have to pay their normal rates, it may cost you less to buy a new brush.
Airbrush City has this brush on sale at $99 and it includes a hose. If you have to pay hourly rates to your machinest or jeweler, it will be less for the new brush if they have to work more than an hour, and their charge will only be for removing the old piece.
