Default How to fix stripped screw (allen) on sights?

I did this to my bow before, and now my gun. In the process of adjusting my sights, I stripped a small allen wrench headed screw. I was only trying to snug it to keep it from moving. I wish they made these things out of metal that doesn't strip so easy! Do I have to take it to a gunsmith now? I've heard of those heads from sears (craftsman?) that get screws, etc. out and tried it once on some other type of stripped screw and it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
