Hello, my girlfriend bought the back plate from a different site to make her iphone pink. She got it today and when she went to take off the one that was on hers I get a text that the screws are totally stripped. She went to the Apple store and they said it was to far gone to do anything with. I am going to be getting my shot at the screws in a few days, so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
Roger

Try super glue on the end of your screw driver, it might work

Only if the head isn't stripped completely smooth. If all you have is a neat little hole in the head, you'll have to use one of the other solutions mentioned.

You can try this but i must warn you to be VERY CAUTIOUS in what you are doing. I used this method and it was successful for me, but then again, it was a small screw. *I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone* :)
Ok, so i took a power drill and used it on the top screw of the EMF protection shield. The screw was stripped so I took the smallest drill bit i could find that would just fit the circumference of the screw. Then, very carefully screw into it, completely making the screw into a bowl. Next, switched directions of the drill, used a little force and went slow....next thing i know the screw is out. You can try this but just be careful and don't break anything. GOOD LUCK! Let me Know if you need anything else.
