I have seen a few screw extractors for sale on ebay but they all seem to big for rc screws, any help much appreciated

At work, if an M3 countersunk screw gets stripped, I drill down a few mm with an M3 drill and hammer in a Torx bit to get it out.

If it has not yet stripped, you can spray with WD40 and heat the screw up. That usually frees up solid threadlock.
