How do I remove stripped screws?
I've removed the back plate of the Nintendo although there are stripped screws on the metal shield plate and I've looked everywhere for a video explaining how to remove I've found nothing.
Is this a good question?

The iFixit Store has a couple of products that might help with your stripped screws.
Screw Extracting Pliers: Damaged Fastener Remover
Precision Screw Extractor Set: Small Stripped Screw Remover
If stripping screws keeps happening to you, I'd suggest you invest in a better screwdriver. A properly fitting screwdriver should not strip the screws in a Nintendo Switch Lite.

Try using a bendable object (ETC: WOOL, Wood) on the screw then use a screwdriver to remove the screws or alternatively you can use pliers

@ihave0idea, I'm not clear on what you mean when you say "use a bendable object on the screw". Can you elaborate on how that works?
@dadibrokeit, When i meant a bendable object, i meant an object that is flexible that can be used on the stripped screw head to make it easier to screw out with the screwdriver
