How to remove stripped laptop screw? - eviltoast

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

    I’d try a flathead, it looks like you have enough to get it.

    Failing that, maybe cut the tip off a screw, super-glue it to that one and then work it out.

      I have used flatheads of various sizes and it wouldn’t budge, unfortunately. I don’t know how to cut metal.

        After you work through this little delema, take a couple hours and read up on the properties of different metals like steel, aluminum and brass. Metal working really is fascinating and it generally is much easier that’s it looks.
