I KNOW WRONG SECTION
But I just cant find the right answer anywhere. So does anybody know how to remove a stripped screw from the bottom of an iPhone? I recently bought a backplate for it, and I would like to install it. Thank you!!

I'm pretty sure you have to have a special screw. Try to search on youtube for some tutorials.

This may not work, and it's a one shot thing. Hammer the screw driver into the screw and then it should give it a little more grip.

you must take it to a shop or an iphone specialist if you try and get into it yourself then you could break your iphone

Usually there's not much you can do with a stripped screw, But try this.

When you put your screw driver on the screw head, Apply as much pressure as you can and then start to unscrew it. (You will need a lot of force)


Note: May harm the screw more.

See if any of these help you,

If not I would suggest taking it to someone who repairs them for a living, chances are they will either have the right tool for the problem, or they will know a way of easily getting it out.
