Stripped T2 Screws

[XFoxPrower]

Any advice for removing A Vita 1000 (Japan 3G)'s stripped T2 screws? I've tried pliers but there's just not enough height. It's the last (I hope) hurdle for installing my new PSVSD.

You can always search Google and YouTube for how to remove a stripped screw. How did they get stripped to begin with?

Best-case scenario, maybe they're not. Came this way. But no T2 screwdriver I've tried yet can get a grip. I think I may have ruined it further with superglue by Googling previously.

I have heard that putting tape over the screwhead will sometimes work. To give it some sort of grip I guess?

Should invest in a precision screw driver set like Ifixit.

I got a set of Torx T2 to T15 on Amazon, as well as another set. Wasn't iFixit though but I'm having my doubts.

Can you take picture of the stripped screws, it is hard to stripped a Torx.

Can't. No camera. I'll try the rubberband / tape idea if I can find some.

Try the rubberband, why you superglue?

Because Google

Well if you got the glue under the screw it might be stuck under.
