Lid Angle Sensor Mount Screw

I replaced a broken screen on the MacBook, and it passed the post-repair diagnostics afterward, but a few minutes later the keyboard and trackpad failed to respond. I ordered a new Lid Angle Sensor, but the head of the mount screw is stripped, and I can't remove the old LAS to install the new one. How can I remove that screw?

The first question is did you use the proper driver and it was not worn out. As that can be the start of knowing if the issues is not having the correct purchase to twist the screw out. Yes, it's likely a bit late for that, but trying fresh screwdriver might work.

You might want to try a little bit of solvent or penetrating oil like WD40 which can seep into the threads to hopefully loosen the bite of the screw. Next if there is enough of a head is to use a jewelers pin vise that can grab the outer wall of the screw, a serrated plier could also work. Using a bit of heat and cold a few times can also break the seize.

The last and one you need to be very careful is drilling the screw out. Here I would use a left wound drill so as the bit bites it helps remove the screw body. Use a drill which is smaller than the I.D. of the screws shaft.

You need to hit the screw smack in the middle and not drift. Make sure the metal shavings don't get into the system.

I've tried 3 different TX1 drivers and a 1IP driver, and none will bite. I've tried the rubber band trick, too. None of my pliers will keep a grip to turn the screw. I'm about to try super gluing the driver into the head of the screw.

@tcousar - I would place some clear tape over first, carefully cutting around the screws ahead edge as tight as you can as you want to make sure none of the glue gets under it.

But do try applying heat to the area and then freeze spray just on the screw. Here I would use tape again creating a cup of sorts around the screws head to spray into (drip) after using a heat gun to heat the metal being careful not hit sensitive parts! Here the heat expands and the cold shrinks! Between the too the screw should be easier to remove.
