I strongly suggest you do not use a Dremel unless it is the absolute last resort. You risk cutting into any of the components around the screw.

Instead, dabDab a very small amount of superglue on the screw head, then rest the screwdriver on top of the screw -- try to prop it in the corner of a shelf, for example. Let time and gravity do it course (about 4 hours or overnight for the glue to really solidify) and then slowly and firmly try to unscrew the screw.

This procedure has worked four out of six times for me.
