So I overtightened the screws on my Macbook when I changed the RAM and I must not have fully inserted one module. Now I can't get one of the screws out. Any idea on what I can do? Should I take it to the Apple Store? Is there a simpler way to fix it?
Got a tip for us?

Well, you have a few options. You can drill out the screw, you can utilize special bits designed for your predicament, or you can take it to apple. Pick one. 
How badly is the screw stripped? A lot of stripped torx or philips head screws can be removed with a properly sized flathead screwdriver if one of the slots is salvageable.
