stripped screw

That's why I love torx and hex heads. They never strip.

do you think it would be small enough to get in the screw?

im not sure , not even sure if they are available in teh US

personally in them circumstances i would try the dremel method mentioned above but take the HDD out first

I have a dremel and it's been the greatest investment, However, The more I look at that picture, That screw looks deep in a hollow hole. I have yet to find a dremel grinding disc that size.

I would just get a small chizel and lightly tap it counterclockwise. If this is a laptop, I highly doubt you would need much more than that.
