iPhone 5 point screw stuck

after screen replacement i saw, that on/off button doesnt work properly. It work if only i push on the left side of it. I decided to open iphone again, but i cant do it because one of 5 point screws stuck. It rotates easy in both directions, but i cant let him out. Do you have any ideas how i can get this screw?

if they rotate but don't go out, mabe could you stick them and then pull. I guess (but am mabe wrong) that you used another screwdriver than the right one. You may order new screws and replace it, using the right one. This kit enables you to replace the current with philips screws [linked product missing or disabled: IF118-023]

You may also screw in your power button harder. There are two screws that can easily go away while using your phone.

Hoping to have helped you !

thanks, vincent. I used proper screwdriver, and i think it happened because i rotated the screw with angle, i mean not exactly in the hole.

The problem solved now (i used suction cup to create tension, so screw started to come out).

Can you explain what screws i need to screw to fix power button?

i saw the manual, but its not all clear to me.
