I stripped this screw in my laptop and as such can’t open the back cover to replace parts.

Things I’ve tried: -Different size/type screwdrivers -Rubber band -Hammer -Hot glue gun

Edit: got it unsuck. Thanks everyone for the advice

    A cheaper method is to super glue something you can turn to it.

      It’s very hard to make sure the super glue doesn’t bond the stripped screw to the case though.

        True. But a teeny tiny drop on the tip of an old screwdriver will usually do the trick.
