[success]Extracting stripped M2x3 mm screw
So, in a brilliant move, I managed to strip one of the M2x3 mm screws holding down my keyboard in my laptop, thus leaving it impossible too upgrade my memory and processor. The screw seems to small for any extractor that I know of, so I'm thinking of epoxying a small rod to the top of it (or possibly a cheap jewelers screwdriver in what is left of the head) and trying to twist it out with some pliers. Any deal with this before? Ideas on how best to do it?
