Pickup screws


Recommended Posts

If you have a small-tipped soldering iron, hold the tip in the screw head cross-slot for 30 seconds or so, then let it cool for a couple of minutes and try it with firm pressure applied, from a correct size cross-head screwdriver, as you turn it.  There is the risk that the plastic cover will soften a touch, but that's a lesser risk than rounding the crosshead...

 

This is the standard method of removing snapped-off screws too...
