I decided on cleaning my laptop fans today, which I’ve been procrastinating for about a year now because of this one screw. But I just can’t seem to open this with my screwdriver, since whatever I did back when I last opened it it’s nearly circular now. Is there a way to unscrew this?

    I don’t really have superglue right now, and the screw looks like this far up, not sure it can be called tight or not.

    (Screwdriver for comparison, couldn’t really find something better.)

      You could also padding out the screwdriver tip or the screw hole. I’ve used sticky tape before, but again if its tight your pretty much out of luck…
