some times if you have a normal screwdriver instead of phillips you can get it into one of the grooves and get the screw out. Would invest in a better screwdriver like craftsman and see if you can get new screws somewhere.

i would try what i said.pulling things off with screw will usually wreck the plastic holes.

Run by your local hardware store, and tell them that you have a bolt stuck, and they will give you a little tool that looks like a drill bit but is shaped with the teeth backwards, and that will drill into the bolt alittle bit, and then after it goes in a bit, it grabs the bolt, and spins it right out, but you will need new bolts afterwards.

They make that tool, I think it is called a tap, really snall....I have never seen a screw too small to tap out with one...It is worth a shot instead of selling a psp and then buying a new one.
