Soft screw stuck.
I tried carefully unscrewing a soft motherboard screw and now it's half-ruined - some material ended up sticking to the screwdriver and now I can't grip it.
What do I do?
use a better screwdriver, you can only chew that out when you're using the wrong size.
If it's exactly like the one in the picture use some pliers and be careful.
The FUCK did you manage to get glue inside the thread anyway?

Get a screwdriver that's an exact fit, Phillips 0 or 00 most likely. Looks like it could still come of fairly easily.
Superglue or rubber band between screw and screwdriver are also options. As is epoxy, if superglue doesn't hold. Also pliers should work nicely considering the positioning.

There's no glue. The alloy it's made of is intentionally really soft. I used an exactly ssized phillips screwdriver at first.
I swear, it's like soft lead.
Pliars, you mean I should sand off the surrounding plastic a bit and get a grip on the whole head?

If it's that same screw in the picture, I mean unscrew the riser and then you can very easily remove the screw with two pliers.

Either cut, or file a slot in the head and remove it with a flat blade screwdriver.
This is the screw I'm talking about. It's surrounded by pertruding plastic "walls" and the head of it is tapered to be slippery to pliars.

why the fuck did you put it in so tight? it's a motherboard, not a fucking lug nut.

use a rubber band
or super glue you screwdriver to the screw
Is putting a rubber band between the screwdriver and screw head thing a meme? What about superglue?
WEll never fucking mind, I applied too much pressure and cracked my motherboard. Tip fucking top thanks for the suggestions tho.

Why didn't you put something to support the motherboard?
