Tablet housing screws spinning in place?

I wanted to swap out the backplate of my console a while ago for a transparent one, however as I went to open it I realised that the screws on the top and bottom merely spin in place when trying to remove them. The heads show no sign of stripping, and no amount of clockwise or anti-clockwise turning tightens or loosens them. What can I do in this situation? Are replacement parts required?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I had this experience. YOU need the kit ASAP!!! I have a Pro Tech for 5 years, and it effortless removes them. And the included screwdrivers in many parts are bad quality and strip screws. Just buy a Mako, or a protech. You need the Y00

What is it about the iFixit tools that necessitates the use of them? Is it magnetism, the precision size of them, or something else?
