ive managed to get my locking grip off as i rounded the bolt off tightening it.
anyone got any quick fixes or any where i can get a replacement or is it new grips? (surely not)

Depends on make as to size I think, but I'm sure I've bought spares from CRC in the past- screwfix may be worth a look tho as well...
And they dont need much more than a firm nip- so long as it doesn't rotate on the bar it will be fine- ease off the tightening power a bit!0 -

I suppose if you can remove the screw, you can retro fit another in.

They stock replacement lock-on clamps but they come with larger allen key fitting so they last longer / harder to round off. I got some and i'll not go back to the ODI ones i had before.0 -
if you have a 2.5mm allen key then gently tap it into the rounded head (easier on alloy bars over carbon!) and try that way, that or do the same with a slightly larger torx head,
