Stripped screw during screen repair

While repairing the screen on my ipad 4, I was able to remove 3/4 screws securing the LCD to the aluminum frame with ease. The last screw will not move. I have tried different screwdrivers, a rubber band, the super glue trick, and am making no progress.

Please help!

i use a dremmel cutting tool to make a slot groove in the head, in order to use a larger slot screwdriver to remove the screw. this requires steady hands, and a dremmel tool to do, but if you have both, it works flawlessly every time i do it. (I do this every couple days)
