One of the long screws in my xbox 360 is stripped. I have tryed using a bigger screw drive with no avail. Is there a way I can get it out without any fancy things like drilling into the case? If it helps I did get a new electric drill for Christmas ,but I prefer not to use it. It is pretty loose can I use the crazy glue trick where I stick a screw driver in it it when it is full of crazy glue.

This sounds like a topic you should post on the HOME DEPOT forum!

There are tools you can get specifically for stripped screws if you wanted to avoid all the nonesense but if your up for trial and error 'tricks' all the power to ya

Pick up a small, cheap pair of vice grips from a dollar store.
