door removal question

I received the Tint Protector moleskin kit in the mail today and immediately went out to the garage and tried to attempt it. I have all the screws out except the one below and am having quite the hard time after 30 minutes. Did anyone else have trouble with this one and if so how did they get it out? I have the black rubber thing off and the screws popping out pretty far so that I can twist it with my fingers but it just will not come out.

From: is everything.
It is common for those to "strip". What happens is that the plastic anchor the screw goes into in the door gets stripped VERY easily. You'll need to get fancy with some needle-nosed pliers behind the rubber or panel to grab hold of the plastic and then unscrew. You need to be careful since it is easy to mark up the door. Sometimes you can get away with just pulling on the door panel a little to put pressure on the plastic anchor and then try unscrewing as you hold the pressure.

Good luck.
