Nintendo Switch Backplate Screws

Hi!

Two of the screws on the back of my switch are stripped and I need replacements. I have found tons of listings on Amazon and EBay for triwing switch screws, but they are all titled for joycons. Are these the same screws needed for the backplate?

Thanks!

Yes, the triwing screws used in the joycons are the same length as those used in the main console itself.

But, they might not be the same diameter as the hole in the switch.

Thankfully they are the same size. I've had to replace more than a few missing ones in Switch repairs where DIY went a bit awry.

How were the screws replaced? Basically how did you get the stripped screws out?
