How to remove stripped Gaiter Stool knobs
The Gaiter Stool extending arms use two rubber knobs. These can detach from the bolt they are secured to if the knob is overtightened.
Remove the rubber piece from the bolt - this will make the head of the bolt accessible to remove. Use a tool to pry the rubber piece off, it should come off easily.

Use a 3/16 allen key to loosen the bolt.
