Okay 3rd time is a charm, azine keeps timing out for me.

get something small between the head of the screw and the drive cage, gently pry while unscrewing. That usually works

Exactly. Get a small nail file or glasses screwdriver, place it in between the head of the screw and the drive and just give it gentle upward pressure while turning the screw.

And next time, don't use screws that are too small for the drive's holes.

Use tweezers... or a small flat screwdriver..

Worse comes to worse, yank it with nose pliers...
