so i was trying to replace mg mother board of my black New 3ds xl with my yellow pikachu New 3ds xl, and 3 screws stripped on the black one. One under the little top feet, and 2 at the bottom where the screws are in a little hole. How do i can i remove them? The screw is worst than the picture is.

a bit of superglue and a small screw driver.. BE VERY CAREFUL. if you mess up, you have to use a drill.
 
When you unscrew a shell screw, put pressure on the driver, and slowly and gently rock the screws until they pop loose. That way, you wont strip any more screws. Invest in a replacement set. A 250 + piece set of random Nintendo handheld screws is around 6 bucks on eBay (or was it Amazon?). Mine had about 60 shell screws, and even some bonuses like springs, I.R. boards, a charger port, and a 3DS mic.

Try a rubberband. You put it down over the stripper screw and put your philips screwdriver right on to the rubberband.
