Question Motherboard screw not coming out

[gaalex]

Hey guys, I noticed some of the motherboard screws got stuck in the standoffs on the case, so I took them out and saw online that I could use a pair of pliers to hold the standoffs and unscrew the screws. It worked with 2, but in the end with one when pressing the separator with the pliers the screw did not move I hope you can help me since I am frustrated with this situation

Please include images/a video of what you're having to deal with. Cross threading can be a major problem for newcomers to the hobby.

Incluya imágenes de lo que está teniendo que lidiar. El enhebrado cruzado puede ser un problema importante para los recién llegados a la afición.

Basically when I grab the standoff with the pliers and try to unscrew the screw it won't turn, it's like it's so tight to standoff it just won't budge.B

I zoomed in to the image, you've cross threaded the screw into the standoff. You're supposed to unscrew it with brute force but keep in mind not to rip the capacitors off of the motherboard while doing so.

You could look for a 5mm rachet bit driver/handle. The drive will accept the standoff and you can apply force in the opposite direction(unscrew the screw) and see if that helps.

If none of that works you might have to drill screw head out. Screws are pretty soft so there should be no trouble if you are careful. Drill bit should be size of the screw, not it's head, There's only a millimeter depth to drill.

I decided to leave it like that and put it back in the cabinet would there be a problem if I leave it like that?

If spacer screws in back plate there should be no problems.
