Screwed screws on the back case.

One of the two screws on the back case is really stripped. I can’t unscrew it. I tried the rubber band trick and the super glue trick. They both failed. I searched a lot more idea how to get ride of that screw, but i don’t have the tools for thoses tricks (Dremel tool) or i’m afraid to try it (heat the tip of the screwdriver) and end up ruining my 3ds. So, i thought i could maybe break the back case and change it, but will i be able to remove the screw this way? Or it will get stuck and i won’t be able to put a new back case.

Hi,

In the end trying a screw extractor may be the cheaper and best option

Here’s a link to the ifixit Precision Screw Extractor Set

No, They are designed to bite into the screwhead.

Zoom in on the images in the link to see the different shaped "blades" on the extractor. If there is a bit of the head left with a "hole" e.g. rounded out Philips head cross (saves drilling a pilot hole for the extractor to grip into) then one of the bits should grip into it and hold so that it can be removed rather than stripping the head further.

There is a lot of info online about using screw extractors.

I do it all the time with a Dremel, using a small auger-type drill bit and just go for a few seconds at a time until the head of the screw cracks off. It doesn't take long & on the back cover (the one w 6 screws that holds the battery) there's nothing under there to damage it's high up enough off the m.board. There's nothing heat sensitive to damage under the gold screws on the m.board either, but still go in short bursts. NOW as for the top screen, I would only use the Dremel to out a stripped screw if it's one of the top 2, cuz the lower ones have fragile ribbons & the 3d controllers underneath (unless that's what you're replacing 😆).

*Another thing that works- if it's not in a recessed cavity- is just snap the head of the screw off with a pair of wire cutters.

And finally- if all else fails and it is a recessed screw- use a toothpick to apply a small dot of strong adhesive like jb weld or superglue, (recessed soldering is a bit impossible) to the screwhead ONLY, being careful not to let it touch the sides or get up under the screw > esp. once you squish something into it < Now Take your skinniest Allen key, or something similar you can turn (it won't ruin metal) and stick it in the glue. Use a thick book or box to hold it exactly upright. Let it set good long time 24 hrs. You've now molded a tool to turn the screw. Hope this helps!
