after a soak- i set the stripped lock face up on a vice with the jaws set just far enough apart for the tumbler to fit between them- make sure the jaws are close so you don't warp the lock
and put a rag in the vice under the tumbler to catch it
with a punch big to not fit into the threads so they don't get damaged and give it a few taps
