Hi, I am in the middle of replacing the screen on my iPhone 4, however the battery connector screw has ended up stripped and I am unable to remove it

Am I able to work around the battery and still replace my screen? Or how do I remove this very stubborn stripped screw?:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Push down on the screw very hard. That's about all you can try
 
Only other thing you can try is to push it down hard and kinda torque the screwdriver to one side, by moving your wrist a bit so it grabs a little bit of bite. Other than that you might be out of luck mate
