So, I'm repairing a phone (iPhone 11 Pro max) but the phones been repaired so many times the pentalobe screws have worn and I can't extract it. I've youtubed it and things but I think I need an extraction tool. Anything on the market?
Is this a good question?

I’ve dealt with this issue a few times with eBay phones, Some ways I dealt with rounded bottom screws was to superglue the bit to the screw and let it sit there for like a day and that trick worked. More destructive ways are to well get a small drill bit and drill the head of the screw off. Or the final way after everything fails is to separate the screen from the plastic rails that run along the side of it, keep in mind this will most likely destroy the screen but you’ll have access to the internals but it will leave the hole plugged up with a screw.
Was this answer helpful?
I was thinking something along the same lines but with a turbo torch and rods but you risk over heating components
