'79 Cb750K carb trouble

Jrocksampsonite
Hey. What's new with these carbs right. Same shit different day.

Just picked up this bike last week and I'm rebuilding the carbs and carb #1&4 jets are stripped.
Not sure if I should spend the time trying to get them out. Not sure where to start or what tools to use. Or Buy a new set of carbs. Or go with something compleatly new.  Trying to keep the cost down. I don't need a $700 set. Hoping to repair.
Any help or suggestions.

Which jets are stripped?  EZ out should be able to easily get them out.  Just take your time.  They're a very soft metal.

The one on the right that's all mangled.  What size would it be? Cause man that's small.

Ok. So I went and got an ez out small enough to get in there (main jet)
Do to the small size if it. The ez out is twisting. I'm afraid it to break off in there and then I'm really screwed.
I soaked it in penetrating lube. Even used a head gun.( Torches would be too much)  to heat it up a bit. But nothing. These things are really in there.
The next size ez out in the kit fits. But as it gets lower and bites into the jet I'm afraid the taper on it will start to eat into the threads and I don't want to deal with tapping that too.
