Is there any way to remove striped screws from the bottom?

I have already opened my iBook before and now I can't get it open again because the screws are striped. They are torx t-8 screws. If I can't get it what are my other options?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Do you mean the threads are stripped?

If so, you could try putting a little blob of something sticky (like bluetac?) into the head of the screw then put the torx driver in and as you unscrew try to gently pull the bolt out at the same time.
