Liberation kit warning from my experience and what should I do now?

I know this isn't a question, but after my experience with the liberation kit I felt I should share to spare some others the frustration. I would not recommend the liberation kit for iPhone 4S. I received it included in my order of a replacement battery. I had a good experience with the battery replacement and at the time decided to leave the pentalobe screws in as I had no issue with them even after multiple screwing/unscrewing from subsequent tweaks and repairs I made or attempted, because I was always careful knowing how susceptible to stripping all the small iPhone screws can be especially the pentalobes. I very recently opened my phone yet again to try to fix an issue I was having and felt that the pentalobe screws were worn down enough at this point to warrant making the switch and "liberating" my phone. This in fact did the opposite and imprisoned my phone. I just tried to unscrew the newly replaced screws, as gently and carefully as always, and one of the liberation screws stripped as if it were made of butter. This should be a fun issue to try to solve and I would appreciate any help/suggestions thanks all!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Are the screws completely stripped? If they arent then you could try to wedge a flat head screw driver in the screw and use that to turn the screws. Be extremely careful as this could strip the screws further and also could injure you if the screwdriver slips.
