How to remover worn-out Screws?

>>1121452
There are a number of approaches. You can use a dremel to carefully carve a slot for a flathead screwdriver. Alternatively, you can just drill out the top portion and bypass it. It's a difficult operation, but you can do it with good tools and a steady hand.

Just put a piece of fabric or paper over it and push hard

This meme needs to end, because it simply doesnt work well and you destroy everything around it.

You think a head with soft metal that already stripped is going to take being heated up with more material removed?

You go to turn the screw and half of the head flies off.

OP Needs an easy out

Screw extractors are a thing.

lol yeah that shit works on ~M2/M3/M4 screws
tig weld a nut to that bad boy

seriously -
either do >>1121463
or put a drop or two of wd40/oil and find a bit that fits better. then apply down force with the screw driver in your palm and use pliers to turn the driver

Try putting a rubberband between the screw and your screwdriver - see https://lifehacker.com/5462520/remove-a-stripped-screw-with-a-rubber-band

I've had it work sometimes. As I said, it would probably be better to bypass it anyway.

small screw extractors actually work pretty good on small electronic shit, done it before.
If that doesnt work, left handed drill bit very slowly, hope it catches and pulls it out.

If screw is still in, finish drilling off head with those left handed bits. Then you can use needle nose or the specialized pliers to remove the rest once the cover is off.
Don't drill out a screw with regular drill bit on something that small, the drill will be tightening the remaining part of the screw the whole time.

Sorry forgot to point out that the screws are very tiny, the head 2,1/2mm and the tracks(?) Seems just about 0,5mm.

To small for that.
The screw is just beside the CPU so drilling and using a dremel seems risky
>>1121463
Tried that didn't work thanks doh.
>>1121465
I agree with you, either it would destroy the screw and the surrounding or the screw would split.
>>1121471
The stores that handles them do not have sizes small enough for it. To much in a hurry to order from another place.
>>1121472
Why would the oil make any difference?
I imagine it would only make the screw greasier and less manageable?
>>1121473
Looking for a rubber band right now.

sorry, OP.
but if you did that to the head of that screw, you have about a 0% chance of extracting it w/o damaging whatever it is screwed into.
which is an option too.

Divorce.

Epoxy a screwdriver to what remains of the screw.

Hey! Don't be so negative!
I did this very thing today on a M5 or M6. The head split....

Cutting wheel and a flathead or hammer and chisel.

Left handed drillbit.

Works every time.
