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

    Same, strong down force, but use a square driver ( Robertson screw).

    Oh, Canada.

        We use Robertson here. Mostly for cabinet work, but we still use it. I’ve actually been switching a lot of the screws in my house with them. (Was built in 1970.) Even used them to fix my vacuum recently in the same situation as OP’s.
