Cutting Through Stripped Screw Macbook Pro 15 Unibody Mid 2010

Chosen Solution Hi everyone, I have a badly stripped screw head and I’m thinking of using a dremel-type tool/rotary saw bit to cut through to get it out.

Dead Section On Right Side Of Screen Toshiba Satellite C55 A5281

The speakers and everything works just fine and there is no issue with the headphone jack being stuck. That seems to be the only thing I can find when I search for resolutions, and I just want to say that isn’t the issue....
