How do I open this stripped screw in my laptop?

@chanadler this will totally depend on what the srewhead looks like right now. Sometimes a larger size screwdriver will have a bit more bite on it. If that does not work, I'd drill it out. Use a hand drill (not a powered one since it could pull in to deep) and a bit as large as the screwhead. This will ultimately take the head off but leave the threaded part of the screw in. Once you remove the case, use a pair of vice grip like pliers or a good pair of hemostats and remove the rest of the screw.

"@chanadler I was having the exact same problem today and I thought I was done for. However I was able to successfully get the screw out using needle nose pliers and a small flat head screwdriver.

Essentially I used the needle nose pliers to rip out the thin plastic which surrounds the screw hole.

My original intention was to use the pliers to get a hold on the screw, but that quickly proved to be impossible. Then as a last ditch attempt, I used the small screwdriver as a lever to get purchase on the now exposed side of the screw.

I’ve tried everything I could find to help remove stripped screws… I was skeptical of the friction drop method.

However, after trying it, I can tell you a huge fan! Spit/abrasive, valve grinding compound, and any other DIY friction drops are NOTHING compared to EZ Grip.

Just to test, I stripped a Phillips screw until it was absolutely GONE, just a tiny bowl left with no channels for a screwdriver to catch on whatsoever, and with a couple drops of Ez grip and slow, heavy pressure from a a drill with Phillips bit and IT CAME OUT!! Amazing!!"

Go to Amazon or www.ezgrip.net and order a bottle of EZ Grip Friction Drops. If not working on an aircraft you should just order the Commercial Grade.

"DRILLING? THEN VACUUM!

Drilling something is fine, but no one above mentioned to VACUUM THE FILINGS out of the laptop. Drilling will likely leave tons of filings of a ferrous nature. These could short traces or other areas inside the laptop. Drilling would therefore be my last choice. If you are going to drill, turn on a shop vacuum or any vacuum for that matter while you drill. At least that way, the last amount of filings possible will go into your device."

Before drilling go to Amazon or www.ezgrip.net and order a bottle of EZ Grip Friction Drops. If not working on an aircraft you should just order the Commercial Grade. It's the best way to remove a stripped/stressed screw.
