Can anyone suggest how do I remove a screw that keeps rolling round and round but doesn't tighten nor loosen?
All I could do was to make scratches to the screw, no luck.

maybe if you have a strong enough magnet try pulling it out with it?

get a safety pin point under the head to get lift force, as you unscrew it.

#

might need to heat the pin to get down into the plastic slightly

(Below pic) This is the current depth it is at after carving the plastic out

Btw does soldering iron help

no dont mess it up with an iron. just file a thick paperclip into a flat wedge point and use it to lift the screw now, as you attempt unscrewing it

#

or use a precision 1.5 or 2mm flat screwdriver as the lifter

I borrowed some help and that person had a double ended flat head screwdriver (if thats what it is) and lifted screwdriver as it is rolled

It worked and came out
