  1. This is half of a diagram that I drew to help beginners fix stripped servos. In order to fix them you must disassemble the servo, remove the stripped gear and prepare new gears for use. I suggest taking a image of the stripped servo as it will help with assembly and documentation. Use step 4's picture to help you re-assemble your servo.
