None of my screws are coming off...

I'm trying to replace both my front and back screen on my phone and I've tried pretty much everything. The whole rubber band trick, super glue, etc....

All of the screws on the back aren't coming off and I don't know why. I think it's because of my screwdriver. But, I really would not like to purchase another one because I just want my phone fixed asap. I've literally tried everything and the battery screw is totally jacked up now. PLEASE HELP. And provide specific directions because I have no idea how to do this stuff...

the screws on the battery? do the look stripped? I assume you used the proper size philips. sometimes if its not 100% stripped you can manage to wedge a flathead in there (keep pressure so it doesn't strip more), or if you have the right pliers you can get lucky. if the screwdriver if the right size, and none of the tricks work, you may need to try a screw extractor.

In the future if the screws are stripping, apply a bit more downward pressure, and there is slipping, don't try unscrewing more until you can figure out why. if its the screwdriver, and you don't want to wait, I love the masterforce micro screwdrivers menards carries, the price is good too.

A good micro shot of the screws could help us out a bit more too.

Sorry I can't help more :(
