Removing stripped pentalobe screws

Dropped my phone and the top RH silver frame piece is now misaligned but phone working OK and nothing broken and want the reset the frame piece.

Purchased the Liberation Kit.

Successfully removed one of the screws, but the other just spins its wheels; the screw head is not stripped, but the thread in the chassis or screw itself must be stripped.

How can I remove it? Have tried the super glue etc etc but doesn't work.

If you have the proper tool to remove them, try filing down the tools head! use fine sandpaper. Check every so often if it fits (you might need to apply alot of pressure!

Paul, the problem is not with the screw head, it is with the screw thread or thread that it screws into.
