I decided on cleaning my laptop fans today, which I’ve been procrastinating for about a year now because of this one screw. But I just can’t seem to open this with my screwdriver, since whatever I did back when I last opened it it’s nearly circular now. Is there a way to unscrew this?

    There’s no need for all that work. Just a dab of epoxy or glue right on top, the any appropriate sized nut on top of that.

    Any drilling/dremel work just creates dust and metal shavings.
