When you shut the faucet off, the screw pushes a rubber washer against the opening inside the faucet and stops the water. The screw moves in and out in the handle to do this.

How do you take off a faucet handle if the screw has been stripped?
Holding the handle on? Hopefully it is not completely stripped. Spray some WD40 or other lubricant on it and let it sit a bit. It should be a Phillips head screw. Line up a screwdriver with what may be left of the slots in the head, hold the screwdriver firmly and hit the end with a hammer fairly hard. Do this a couple of times. Lean over the faucet and putting a lot of pressure on the screw try to turn it. The handle bolt is the only bolt I can think of on a faucet. If it is totally stripped, you can get new handles for the faucet. Is there room enough to use a hacksaw to cut the handle off and then cut a new straight slot in the screw head. If you cut the handle off, you should be able to take the valve out of the faucet and heat it with a propane torch. Heating it will almost always loosen any screw.
