GPU fan screw is is stripped from the inside

I have an Asus Strix GTX 980 ti, when attempting to take the heatsink off to replace the thermal paste, I spun the screw the wrong way (clockwise) just a bit too hard, causing the hole itself to be totally stripped.
I can see it from the under this card, it looks like this https://imgur.com/a/6yd0CpZ

The hole is so stripped that spinning it, either way, it has no effects to the horizontal position of the screw whatsoever.
stripped in a way that there is no friction between the plate and the hole support.

How can I take the screw out without damaging the board? because the board is the second layer (beyond the support plate) and force pulling the screw off will sure break parts of the board.

out of the problem, why is this r***rded design created in the first place?

Is it still tight or will it wiggle some?

It can be fully spinned, because the problem isn't the screw, but the hole that deals with the horizontal position of the screw. (In & out)

I understand but the answer to my question determines my next suggestion will is wiggle back and forth some or just spin?

it just spins, no leveling on the screw, also the screw type has some kind of spring on it.

Usually you can use a pair of needle nose pliars to grab the screw and pull up while you turn it and it'll come out, needle nose vice grips are better but harder to find


You can also often push the screw to one side with a flathead screwdriver while trying to loosen in with the phillips

I'm still trying to get it out, but your suggestion is good enough.
Yes, I do have needle nose vice grips, but they are way too large to get into the hole where the screw rests inside of.
I've already tried to use the flathead screwdriver & Philips screwdriver method prior to this post, does not work at all.

Worst thing I've had to do for a screw was epoxy a screwdriver to the screw, let it set up, then pull up pretty hard while turning the screw. But it was on a tractor not a gpu where one glob of misplaced resin = catastrophe
