Poll of the Day > How would one remove a stripped, small phillips head screw from something?

(+) Yeah! (+)

think like small glasses screw size. This is a screw on a watch case.

stripped. cant do anything. IDK

Long shot but maybe needlenose pliers? Try to grab the outside of the screw and turn it that way?

EDIT: Yeah, here look:

Although they're commonly used to cut and bend small wires and electrical wiring, needle-nose pliers have other uses, as well. They can bend, cut and grip where fingers and other tools are too big or clumsy. Needle-nose pliers are good for reaching into tight spots where regular pliers are unwieldy.

ill try it

if only you didnt have me muted for whatever reason, i actually used to do this several times a day

pliers are a good suggestion, but before you go fucking with that and bend the screw or totally fuck the plate you could try a couple other things

first of all, snap a rubber band, and then lay it across the stripped hole on top of the screw. try a phillips and a Flathead inside there and see if it gives you some turns

second, try a heat gun (a blowdrier for hair works fine). softening the plastic around the screw may help you get a few turns to get it started

if someone wants to quote this for TC
