stripped iPhone 4 battery screw

History

I am fixing an iphone 4 for a friend and when i go to unscrew the battery it is stripped and ive searched for ways on how to fix it. Ive heard that there is a certain screw driver to fix it. I just need to get the screw out then i will replace it. Can somebody please help me figure out how to get this screw out or what is the name of the screw driver that will get this screw out?

One way is to use a dremel and cut a slot in the top of the screw. Then use a flat-head screwdriver to take out the screw. Another way is to get a screw extractor set and remove the screw.

I would just carefully use the corner of a razor blade. Push it into the head of the screw, get some traction and unscrew it.

skeece it left, skeece it right, if you skeece it more than just right, it might be too tight, skeece it up, skeece it down, if you skeece it hard youll be wearing a frown, skeece it sideways, skeece it longways, if you dont know what skeece means youll be havin a long day

You could ship it in to a iPhone repair shop if there's not one close to you.
