Sachs front fork compression valve cap repair/replace

[dimtsam]

Hello everyone.
I got a EC250 2011 with Sachs front fork. The head nut of the compression valve cap became round so I need to ask if there is a way to repair it.
Or then to replace it?

The actual nut on the top of the cap which is used to remove the cap?

Heya, i would love to know this as well, since the owner before me rounded it.....
Whats the best way to get it out? I have a other baseball laying for to be used, could i drill this thing out? This sucks! I wanna ride!
This is the bottom nut, for the compression... Sachs 48mm

Actual base valve.. that small, soft, alloy.. Easily rounded.

How bad is yours?

A 6 point socket, preferably with no/little lead in taper gives the best contact point. If it's been rounded beyond that, then I wouldn't bother removing it at all.

If you were to drill it out, where would you source a replacement?
