[Somewhat urgent] LG Monitor stand stripped screw

[Tokage]

So I stripped the screw for the stand on my LG ultrawide 29". I'm really freaking out, does anyone know what to do in this situation?

Thanks for all feedback!

Does the monitor support a VESA mount? You don't specify the model number.

It does support vesa mounting, that's why I was removing the stock mount. it's a 29UM67-P ultrawide.

I have a neighbor that used to work construction, and I will contact him tomorrow. I just ended up mounting it anyway.
Now I have a stupid little shelf to put things on, however I'd still like to remove it.

You could very carefully drill two holes into the screw and use narrow pliers to work it out.

If all else fails, I shall try that. I just really don't want to screw up such a nice monitor

I've just looked at the manual for your monitor - is the affected screw underneath or on the part that connects to the monitor back? If it's the underneath screw, you could saw that part off and then unscrew the section that's attached to the back.

I thought about that, but I don't really have the tools for it, the neighbor I mentioned earlier probably could. I might resort to that.
