@Bigbeardenali1992 sorry to hear it stripped. An easy out should do the trick. You just drill a hole in the screw , put in the easy out, and then the easy out tightens itself in the hole as you reverse it. Any hardware store should have some.

Picked up an easy out this afternoon from Napa Auto Parts so I'm going to go for round 3 again with that screw this afternoon when I get home will post up later how it goes.

Any advice to remove the plastic pieces on the steering column? I've read threads and watched YouTube videos, but my lower piece doesn't appear to have screws. Is this a Denali specific issue, or do I just not have screws? Thanks in advance

Mine doesn't have screws either; there's 2 holes that look like they might have screws but there's nothing there. The 2 halves just snap together.
Edit: I also see the Denali part is specific to the Denali.

My plastic piece doesn't have screws either. Just like @Red Rocket said, it looks like there should be with the holes. But no screws. I just gently wiggled a flathead screw driver in between the two pieces where the plastic tabs are and they came apart. Just be gentle!

I guess I lucked out with mine , came right out, surprisingly. Biggest issue I had was plugging the shifter harness back in.
