Accidently stripped the heck out of a screw on one of my DS Lites (wasn't in the best condition when I got it), what would you guys do to try and get it out? Picture:

You could try putting a rubber band in between the screwdriver and the screw to see if it'll grip better. Hopefully that works for ya

Worst case - if nothing else works, I drill it out.

How exactly do I do that?

Get a tiny bit for the drill and drill of the screw head. Once the screw head is removed it'll come out when lifted.

Get yourself a Dremel if the Rubber band doesnt work
