Sounds like you really need to reset NVRAM/SMC. As your keyboard/trackpad aren’t functioning you could try to connect an external keyboard.

Follow this to connect a random USB keyboard *can even be a windows one*

Or if you have a bluetooth keyboard follow this:

See if you can get it to spontaneously reboot by disconnecting the battery from the logic board, also disconnect the mag-safe. Press and hold the power on button for 10 seconds. Reconnect the battery and mag-safe. It should reboot as soon as you do the you can better test the keyboard and trackpad.

This is what I’m hoping to do

The last remaining pentalobal screw on the cover is stripped and won’t come out

Too deep to use pliers

Tried opening it with a rubber band and tried superglue too

Waiting on a drill to remove it
