I wasn't means to screw the torx so tightly in near to RAM, on bottom of MBP, there's 2 torx screw in, one was struck and other one is fine. It was rotate but cannot get out, what would I should to do with MBP? how can remove it?

I know exactly what happened. You stripped the bolt. Your just gonna have to deal with it, there are ways you can get it out, and u could even re thread the hole, but how technically savvy are you?

I don't know about technically savvy? I was just replaced the HDD at twice, everything are successful but only one torx screw was struck after I was tightly so hard. How I can re-thread the hole? Use drill machine will help to pull out?

My MBP is working greatly after one torx screw was struck, plus I can open the case when struck torx screw was loose, like rotate into loose but won't come out.

Thats one option. You could drill out the screw and then use a re threading tool, to re thread the hole. For someone technically savvy its actually quite easy. But if you mess it up, you can get yourself into a world of trouble, damaging even more.

Sorry to say it looks like some drilling will be required.

Happened a while back when adding another hard drive to the Mac Pro… the screws on the carriers are pretty soft… and someone at the factory was a bit over zealous with the tightening… so… stripped a screw. Luckily some veeeery careful drilling managed to get it out.

Mind you I can't imagine the terror of taking a drill to something as delicate as the MacBook's innards!

Ok, thanks for helping.

I will get my relative to drill out, he does know about tech stuff, such as laptop and desktop.

I have no experience to use drill on laptop, I guess that need wait or even get deal with it.

No problem, in the future just make sure you don't over tighten. Just tighten the screws down until they are a bit snug, thats all you need. Best of luck!
