1 Cutting through stripped screw
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.
See attached picture, the bottom image shows where the screw is, and top image shows tiny pillar the screw itself goes into.
I’m thinking of cutting the pillar part — what advice do you all have? What sort of saw bit should I use if this is the best way to solve the problem?
PS Have tried the usual tricks, e.g., a rubber band to fill the screw head, rubber cement to join a screwdriver to the screw, etc.
I’m waiting for a precision screw extractor kit, but in mean time I’m curious for any feedback,
Thanks!

What is your goal here? What are you trying to fix?

I'm trying to replace the right speaker/subwoofer assembly. To access that part, I need to remove the optical drive, and the stripped screw is holding that in place.
