How to remove items from party members' inventory?

Okay, so, I feel like a complete idiot for asking this. Especially since I've played this game.. a LOT over the years. Just returned to it after a long hiatus. But recently, one of my followers (Magnus to be specific) felt like it was a good idea to pick up a huge arse piece of stone of all things.
Usually I'd just you know, trade stuff from party members to me, but now it's not a viable otpion. The game keeps saying "it's too heavy". But there HAS to be some way to get rid of that giant thing that keeps slowing Magnus down and rendering him useless. I mean, I like Magnus. And he's one of the few followers with VA. And due to my genius of using only one save slot, I'm not stuck in this hell.

Any advice is quite welcome.

Look into Magnus' inventory, grab the rock by pressing and holding left-click, drag it to the far right to the drop icon (a red arrow pointing down, below the dice and hand) and release. The boulder will drop under Magnus' feet.

Note that he might pick it back up within a second, so run away right after leaving the inventory screen so that he follows and leaves the boulder behind.

If he continues to pick it up fast enough that you can stop him in time, do the following:
1. set combat to turn-based
2. make him drop the boulder using the method above
3. before leaving the inventory screen, initiate combat via the red shield button in the lower left corner
4. run away from Magnus
Magnus should ignore the boulder and follow (or "teleport") near you instead.

Oh thank you! Man, do I feel silly now. Though I can always blame my barely functioning eyes. :p
But yeah, thanks a bunch, this was a life saver for me and my useless eyes.

you can also get followers killed loot all their stuff and then reserect them a useful way to steal magnus bracers if you are a dwarf :@}
