I am trying to replace the screen on an iPhone 6. The instructions on iFixit were great (as usual) until I reached the point requiring removal of 6, #00 1.6mm screws from the front panel rear. (Step 35 in these directions.) While most of the screws were challenging to remove, there’s one I still can’t get out. I’ve tried using a half-dozen different tiny Philips-headed screwdrivers but at this point, I’m concerned that the screw head is becoming stripped. Suggestions? Advice?
This is a different issue I’m trying to get resolved. But you’re here now. So you could put a rubber band over the screw, then apply the driver. If that doesn’t work, I use crappy plastic handle drivers if undo this, you could super glue a driver to the screw, then remove screw. The problem is you’re using Phillips drivers that are 1.5 mm, and you’re stripping the driver and the fastener, when you need a 1.75 mm driver
