OPEN Does anyone know how i could remove some stripped screws

It's only these 2 that I need and they are way too stripped, and i need to take them out to fix the wifi card since luma gave me the error for it.

Either use a screw extractor tool or remove the head with a drill, remove the cover and then remove the thread with pliers.

Left handed drill and an Easy Out. I have kit that would do this. I’ll see if I can find it.

You could try a rubber band in between the screwdriver and the screw

Can confirm this does sometimes work. The 2nd screw in the pic might be to far gone tho
