When i try to replace right subwoofer macbook pro, accidentally stripped the screw head in the bluetooth bracket orange color circle as per picture. Quite hard to do anything because the hole is quite small for any equipment. Did try using rubber band but still unable to unscrew it. Need help…
Is this a good question?

When I get troubles with pesky screws first thing I try is to gently hammer the screwdriver on the screw head to improve grip if the stripping is not that bad. If that fails I usually end up cutting a slot for a flat head drivers on the the screw head with a dremel cutting disk. Hope that helps, good luck.

But it might break the below part which the slim silver part below the bracket.. even i press a bit pressure to unscrew the battery, the battery bracket broke coz too delicate and brittle.
@ well, that depends on how steady your hand is..a little cosmetic damage would not make a difference and can be considered an acceptable side damage if it gets you the work done. I don't know of other ways, screws extractors are too big to work with such small screws.
