try putting a drop of superglue on the tip of your screwdriver and then insert it into the screw. wait a couple seconds, and you should be able to pull it out if it's stripped. you can then remove the screw by soaking the tip of the screwdriver in acetone for a few minutes. it should pry right off. i've used this method for stripped screws and it works pretty well.
