You should buy a WiHa, or other quality driver. The Moody drivers that iFixit sells in the pro line are good. It will come out easily with the right tool--even if stripped!

Why will a WiHa work better? And which WiHa? Is the handle a wider diameter thus allowing greater torque to be exerted on the screw?
