I have never tried this, but you might consider using epoxy putty. You might be able to attach a screwdriver to the screw this way, but even if you don't the epoxy would conform to the shape of the screwdriver and the stripped screw, so it might allow enough torque to be applied.
Also, there are such things as 'screw extractors', but I doubt they make them small enough...

Yeah th jb weld is epoxy putty and it didnt help. /: I'm not sure what else to do. All I can think of is a pin to just try and turn but pins aren't even strong
Got any pics? If we can see some pictures of it we may be able to come up with some more ideas. I wouldn't give up yet.

How do you think it'll look on a white iPhone? Does it feel flimsy? I've always wanted something like that. Where'd you get the it from and did the proper tools come with it? How hard was it installing it (other than the problems with the screw
)

You need a pentalope screwdriver but it comes with it in this little package with the back. I bought a separate took kit in case i ever want to change the LCD and front plate or home button whatever.. All you need to to is CAREFULLY (lol) unscrew the two screws, and push up the back and it comes off like any other phone.
