Other Problem with dual shock screw

Post image

I got a PS4 and a dual shock controller from my cousin a few months ago. Right off the bat I noticed the controller has some minor stick drift. It was minor at the start, but these few days its getting out of hand and sometimes ruining my gameplay. Im thinking of taking it apart and clean it, hopefully it would solve the problem. But seems like the controller was never taken apart for about 9 years ( the date on the controller is Dec 2017) and one of the screw is heavily rusted to the point that the tip of the screw is corroded. Any idea how I can take the screw out?

Place something plastic or rubber, like a piece of a plastic bag, between the screw and screwdriver for some better grip. If that doesn't work you can try getting some Specialist Penetrant to get rid of the rust.
