I find a torq bit helps sometimes
I have tried using them and even hammering in a bigger size and it don't work, because of how weak and flexible the metal is, the ram cam will just crumble, haven't had time to try super glue and an old allen key yet but will try when im home

Flat head screw driver and a hammer.

Tap the screw driver into the ram cap untill a groove apears, then unscrew.

If the cap is in as tight as i think the glue idea will not work.

I am not familiar with the creed, but if you can remove all the electronics and pop the body in a bag and put it in the freezer overnight. In the morning, carefully pour hot water on the rear of the marker where the cap screws on and quickly try and remove it. Cold metal contracts and warm metal expands should loosen it enough to get it out

If the alan key has nothing to grip to, as in the hex groove has rounded no amount of cold/heat will help.

Is the screw counter sunk? If not carefully dremel a notch for a screwdriver just in case when you tap it, it bounces off and gouges the anno/body
