Question Broken screw on case

[combatsopro]

Today I was trying to replace my old hard drive and I came down with the problem that I cannot open my PC case because the screw is basically a bowl now, I tried the rubberband trick but it wont work and I don’t have any tools on me accept a screwdriver currently, Is there any other way to get rid of this screw?

(i have a replacement screw I just need to completely get rid of this one even if it means destroying it)

You will have to drill out the screw.

You will have to drill out the screw.

Won’t you think pliers would work?

They may depending on how big the head of the screw is

Or if it's like some of the standard case screws, if you have a small socket set, maybe you can use that.

Depending where you live if you have a home depot, toolking , harbor freight or general hardware store around they should carry screw extractors.
Here is a link to a set at harbor freight.

Thanks for the help! Ended up getting some pliers and turning it out, lucky enough the head was just big enough for it.
