How to remove a MacBook cover screw that is broken without any tools

I have a macbook pro 15 inch 2015, when I tried to remove the case I notice that the bottom two screws near the trackpad won’t turn. When I take in for a closer look the screw seems to have been stripped or broken to the point that Icant remove it with a pentalobe screwdriver. I’ve tried using superglue, rubberband and even latex gloves, but it won’t work. I am planning to replace my battery. Should I use a drill to drill the screw and replace it with a brand new screw?

you might try taking a drill bit with your hands to see if it will grab the screw enough to loosen it.
