i was trying to disassemble my 2ds to clean some gunk out of it, and im not sure if this screw was stripped before i got to it or not but it wont budge. the other ones fine, but i tried the rubber band method and nothings helping. i dont wanna make it any worse, but i really wanna get it out. any ideas?

That screw looks fine, just use the proper sized bit (PH00) and apply a lot of perpendicular pressure. When tightening them all back down, DO NOT overtighten them. All of the screws should be just a tiny bit more than finger tight, no more.
Honestly youre fine, try a flathead with minimal pressure
update: i got it off and i had to bend the shit out of the backplate in order to do so
What a need is a left handed drill bit and a replacement screw.
