I was taking my ps3 controller apart to replace the battery when I was taking the back off I couldn’t get a screw to catch and accidentally stripped it
Is there any way to fix this? Or any way to get it out?

Does anyone have any non destructive sultions? This is my only controller and I can’t use it with the battery not holding charge

rubber band to hopefully add enough friction to get the screw to turn, otherwise drilling it out is going to be your only option
