Assuming the screw head is fully stripped: First try to use a Dremel or similar tool with a disc-shaped bit to "cut" a new slot into the screw and use a flat screwdriver to get it out. If that doesn't work, use a sphere-shaped bit to drill off the whole screw head (carefully! ).

Drilling the whole head off: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thp4/74...57630279222804

Good luck!

Happened to me too, first I tried to cut using a disc drill to be able to use a flat (minus) screw driver. accidentally i stripped the whole head and made it easier for me to pull it out. So yah I stripped the head and just changed screws

Edit: Service Manual says Screw Torx+ Size 4 M1.4 x 3.8
Replacement screws can be ordered here http://stellatech.com/nokia-n9-00-sc...de,811571.html
Can someone please provide a link for this screwdriver in the UK? i can not seem to find one?
