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

    Use a rubber band. Place it flat against the screw head and then use your screwdriver. You can also fill the screw head with baking soda, imprint your screwdriver in the baking soda, then cover with superglue. That should create a new surface for the screwdriver to catch on. If neither doesn’t work, then use the more expensive solutions.
