While trying to replace the DVD drive on my PC I had to remove the screws, unfortunately with the last screw I ended up damage it and I can't get it out i.e. the cross is not a blunt hole., I can't remove the DVD drive does anyone know what to do?

Traditionally we used a small bore hand drill and drilled the screw out. Obviously, you'll need to get a replacement screw.

I fixed it, I used a pair of pliers and gripped the sides of the screw and removed it.
