I would leave it to a pro repair person. There are a variety of ways to remove damaged fasteners. One is to drill a hold in the middle of said fastener and use an "easy-out" spiral threaded remover. But that's extremely difficult with tiny fasteners. Another method involves gluing a "wrench" to the head of said fastener with a two-part epoxy. But that is equally difficult. There is no easy way to do it. Is it a Phillipas or a slotted screw? The tools are not interchangeable. A pro might be able to loosen the screw with a proper tool.

Hi all,
I need help with removing a base plate screw that has a stripped/rounded head? Apparently a previous owner had attempted to loosen the screw without success.
I'm not able to bite into the head and get a turning grip with the small phillips or flat head (slotted) screwdrivers I have.
Does anyone have any surefire solutions for removing the screw? Or should I leave it to a professional repair person.
Thanks,
Mike
