My launchday Switch has been making a grinding noise from the fan recently, so I decided to replace it following the iFixit guide.
I have all the correct screw bits, and all other screws came out fine, but the middle (third) screw on my left joycon rail is now super stripped. Its pretty much round at this point after trying the elastic band trick and all the other bits that even remotely fit it to try and get it out.
Is there anything else I can do at this point? If this was a screw in a wall or something I would just try and create a new point to unscrew from with a dremel or something and try with a flathead screwdriver, but I am not keen on taking power tools to my switch without much experience.
I see that screw exctractors are a thing, but most of them seem to require a drill - Something I dont own... Am I out of luck here?
Any advice appreciated.
