How to unscrew a stuck screw?

I was going to disassemblee the Nintendo Ds Lite. Unfortunately, one of the screws on the back cover is stuck. I also tried to use a particular product used for the stucking screws but nothing happens.

Can you please help me?

@twiggy7 sometimes it is just a matter of using a different screwdriver. Something with some sharp hardened edges is usually best. Apply plenty of downward pressure when trying to loosen the screw otherwise it'll chew up the screwhead. If that already happened it is best to use a small drill or Dremel to remove the screwhead. Once disassembled you will need to use a pair of pliers to remove the rest of that screw. Again, it will all depend on where the screw sits and what it all looks like.

Thanks for the adviceses! I'll try with another screwdriver.

Also, I added a photo in which shows the position of the screw I'm going to unscrew.

Yes, I was afraid it was one of those. Can't use a Dremel on that. Hopefully a good screwdriver will help with that. Otherwise it's the drill.....
