One screw does not come out.

One of the two screws at the bottom of the iPhone 5 does not come out. I could make a few turns and it would come out a little (but not enough for me to grab), then it would just turn freely and not come out. It still goes back in tightly. The other screw came out easily. Any suggestion?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Try a pair of tweezers to grab onto the end of the screw, it is probably catching onto something! I'm basing this on it being one of the pentelobe screws?

Nail clippers are fantasic to take screws out if you have a tiny bit to grab.

Grab the screw and twist the phone

Thanks for the great suggestions! Too bad I still can't grab onto it. Yes, it is one of the pentalobe screws.
