Occasionally when fixing an XO you may find that a screw has been stripped. A screw being stripped means that the slots that the screwdriver fits into have expanded to do over- or mis-use. This often happens when someone over tightens a screw when reassembling an XO.

Problem

Alex of OLPC@Duke was having a hard time loosening a certain screw.
