Default fuming....

i went to clean my TC hawken flinter after a useless sight in session today.......went to take the BRAND NEW touch hole liner out with a allen wrench and it wont come out......started to move and then it stripped out!!!! i cant get it out with anything...dont know what to do im thinking on that still....im fuming.....its actually a common problem with me and that gun though......is there a reason why??? or something to do to prevent it??? i tried putting some lube on the threads but i think it burnt and made it harder to take out......any tips before i email TC fuming??? im sure ill get it out sooner or later......but it ticks me off that i need a new touch hole liner every time i go out and shoot........are the older TC hawkens threaded diffrent then the new touchhole liners or something?? when i baught it it had a plain old flathead screwdriver slot.....man was that a beast to get out.......now these liners either crack or strip out...yes...ive had one or 2 crack just from shooting......this one in the gun now is cracked but i cant say if its from shooting or if it happend when i went to remove it..........anyone make a GOOD liner that will fit? tips, hints, tricks, comments?? anything....im dying here! about to take the gun to the bridge and see if it floats!!!!!!!!
