I used a cutter to get mine out, they were pretty soft so it was a perfect tool for the job!

Would super glue work?  I have tried it with other things and had some success, but it probably depends on how tight the screw is in there.

if i had a dremel at my disposal, i would probably try cutting a new groove into the screw head, rather than cutting the head clean off

(just my 2 cents)

Oh dang. xD That would work.

(Sorry, Accidental double post)

I've had a similar problem on a car and I just applied super strong two-part epoxy to a screwdriver and stuck it on the screw. I had to sacrifice a screwdriver but it worked.

Yeah, I could probably borrow or find an angled pair. If that fails I'll try to drill it. Thanks for the responses so far everyone.

You need an angled pair of needle nose pliers, preferably the 90 degree variety. Do you have a harbor freight near your or any mechanic friends?

Using a dremel is your best bet if you ask me. I used the drill bit method that Lucas mention and cracked the little headphone jack board in half (if you decide to do it this way, get an extra pair of hands to hold down the gameboy while you do it.)

I have tried needle-nose pliers too. Unfortunately I don't have a dremel at my disposal.

Dremel the head off that little bastard, and then extract the stump with a pair of pliers.

Have you tried various needle nose pliers? There are some with curved tips and angled tips that help.

I've been trying to do so, I can't get any grip on it.

It was shipped to me this way, generally I am very careful not to strip screws.

Use a small flat tip screw driver to torque through the cross section you stripped out.

You need one of these.

It's called an easy out. You should be able to get it in there and extract the screw.

Edit: you might have to drill a tiny hole, but that's if the screw head is really hit.
