>anyone has ideas on removing a screw with a worn-out head?

Go to a good hardware store or an auto parts store and get a small 
'easy out' and a drill bit to match.  The easy out is  a small wedge 
shaped screw with a reverse thread.  You drill a small hole in the 
center of the phillips head 'X' on top of the screw and the easy out 
screws into the hole.  The wedge shape quickly gets jammed in the 
hole and continued turning unscrews the damaged screw.  Bring the 
laptop with you to show how small the screw is.  Easy - - - - -
Out!
