But instead of getting out a Dremel to remove the pesky screw, try a few simple things first. Gently tap the screwdriver with a small hammer to try and loosen it. Or if the head is a bit damaged you can try using a rubber band in-between the screwdriver and the head of the screw. This will hopefully provide a bit more friction to help remove the screw.
