I stripped this screw in my laptop and as such can't open the back cover to replace parts.
Things I've tried: -Different size/type screwdrivers -Rubber band -Hammer -Hot glue gun
Edit: got it unsuck. Thanks everyone for the advice

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

You can try a miniature screw extractor. Sometimes they work, other times they just make things worse though.
Not sure how I could possibly make this much worse given it's already pretty stripped 😅. I'll get a screw extractor and see if it works.
