1. Use the right tool. Make sure you're using the correct size screwdriver or wrench for the screw. If the tool is too small, it will slip and damage the screw head.
2. Apply pressure. Press down firmly on the screwdriver or wrench as you turn it. This will help to prevent the tool from slipping.
3. Turn the screw slowly. Don't try to turn the screw too quickly. This will increase the chances of stripping the head.
4. Back out the screw and apply pressure Start tightening the screws and once they begin to bind, turn in small increments and turn backward and start the process over by using more force this process is called rocking the bolt.
5. Use lubricant. A lubricant can help to reduce friction between the screw and the tool. This will make it easier to turn the screw.
6. Try turning the screw counterclockwise. In some cases, you may be able to remove a stripped screw by turning it counterclockwise.
7. Use a screw extractor. If all else fails, you can use a screw extractor to remove the screw. A screw extractor is a tool that is designed to grab onto the damaged screw head and turn it out.
