After trying all the “tricks” for small stripped screws on YouTube, I spent the money for a “micro screw extractor” set - hope it works.

Left handed drill bits are a handy thing to have around when there's a screw with a stripped-out head.

These would do nicely

Thanks! I bit the bullet & purchased a micro screw extractor set - just got it & haven’t screwed (no pun intended) up the nerve to tackle my stripped screw yet. The “drill” goes counterclockwise, the the ‘extractor’ does the same. Sometimes the screw will come out with just the drill. This set works on very small screws (cameras, key fobs & PCs) so it should work. I have watched a couple of videos, too - one using the exact set I have. Thanks again - appreciate the info :-)
