[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 903641, member: 24098"] Craftsman makes a bit called a [URL="http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00952154000P"]"Screw-out"[/URL] that is specifically for stripped screws. It actually cuts into the head and does a very decent job. I just removed a small one like that using a "Screw-out" bit a week or so ago in an external hard drive case. Aside from that, another technique is to use a Dremel with a small cutting wheel to scribe a straight line through the diameter of the screw head. You can then use a flat head driver to remove the screw. Regardless, for those reading this thread, I would highly recommend a good quality precision screw driver set (with labeled bits or drivers) before you attempt to open any laptop. Sometimes what looks like a #000 is actually a #00. It's easy to strip screws if you don't have exactly the right size. [/QUOTE]
