If the screw is stripped then the threads are not holding and can be removed with pliers.
If your asking, about the head being stripped, then you take a hack saw blade and cut a new slot in it,this way you can use a slotted screw driver to remove it.
If it is locked in and does not come out, you will have to drill it out with a drill bit that is smaller then the thread size.

∙ 12y ago- strip screw? Ok heres a coulple answers hope one of them can help you. IF the screw is in wood and wont "grab" anything, you can remove the screw and fill the hole in the wood with a wood filler that will hold nails and screws( should say on packaging) and re install the screw. If the screw is in metal, you can fill the hole with a steel epoxy( JB weld, harveys plumbers epoxy putty, etc.) and re install the screw is it is self tapping. If the situation allows tap the hole to the next larger size and install a new larger screw. If the screw head is stripped, then you may be able to remove it with an extractor, ( E-Z out for large screws and bolts, Or something similar to a Craftsman Screw Out, Both come with instructions on how to use them, and there are cheaper versions available by other manufactures) or if the screw head is sticking out of the work far enough, you can use a hacksaw to cut a grove in the head, and turn it out with a flat head screwdriver. If you need to repair a strip (collated) screw gun, you should ask that question. Hope this helped

∙ 14y agoYou can purchase a screw extractor at a hardware store. This bit fits on the end of the drill and grabs hold of the stripped screw head and removes it quite easily. You could also drill through the damaged screw head about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Once the screw head comes off, the screw shaft can be removed with a pair of pliers.

While you can't really remove the rust, you can use penetrating oil to help get the screw loose, and you can use sandpaper on it to remove the rust you can get to.
How do you remove a screw with a stripped head?
Avoid making the problem worse. If the tool you are using is slipping, stop using it immediately. Further slippage will only continue to wear down the screw head and make it harder to remove. Definitely be sure you are going in the correct direction for removal, which is usually--but not always--counterclockwise ("righty tighty, lefty loosy"). Pressing down hard as you are unscrewing will help prevent slippage

How do you repair interior house door swing?
If you mean the hinge and the screw are stripped, you can tap a wedge of wood in the hole and reinstal the screw. You can put longer screw in up to 2 or 3 inches long and you will hit the 2x4 framing around the door instead of just the door frame. If the door frame is split at the hinge, you can remove the trim on that side and put 1 or 2 screws in the edge of the door frame to pull it back together. It would probably be best to predrill the screw holes if this is the problem. Less chance of spliting the frame. If there is some other problem a more specific description would help.

Singer 201-2 balance wheel not tighten I loosen the stop motion screw to wind the bobbin and now I am unable to tighten the same to allow for the blance wheel to engage. Please help?
There's a small screw inside the stop motion screw on the balance wheel of the machine. Make sure you're not loosening that screw. The part to loosen is the silver "wheel" within the balance wheel, not the screw that holds the silver wheel in place. Be sure to check the small screw that holds the silver wheel in place and make sure it is tight. If the screws and wheels check out ok, you may have a stripped the threads on the stop motion screw causing it to continue to turn and not tighten.
