Hey guys, non-hackintosh question...
I was experimenting with my build, and I accidentally stripped a screw on one of the NVMe heat sinks. Such an idiot! I also cut one finger with a metal sticker. It was a bloodbath. lol The drive is fine and didn't break anything else, but does anyone know how can I get that screw out so I can replace it with a good one?
Cheers!
Usually for stripped screws the 'nuclear option' I use is a Dremel tool to 're-slot' the head of the screw, and then use a flat-head screwdriver to get it out. But you risk slipping and damaging something else.
Depending on the shape of the screw and whether it has enough of a rough surface for gripping, you could try using some combination pliers or angled pliers?
