I know what to do. GRIP the standoff with pliers and unscrew it with screwdriver. But even as I do this, the standoff keeps spinning. What am I doing wrong here?
 
Solution
If the standoff is stuck to the motherboard tray, Usually pressing up brom the backside while you unscrew it is enough to get it to catch and then unscrew. Usually I use whatever coin is my pocket and press the flat side (heads/tails) to the screw with my thumb.
