That sounds like a last resort idea. I like that. Thank you.
Or even simpler, just stick another screw to the left of the washer in the first picture at a slight angle. Pick the size carefully though - you don’t want it to come out the other side!
Hey guys,
I did it!
I wanted to thank you all for participating and helping me.
The price goes to mattylad. I used a 3mm flat head screwdriver. But it was a tad too small. 4mm may have been better. I had to be very careful going at a very low speed.
The funny part is I went to Wickes (local DIY warehouse). One of the advisors said it was impossible after looking at the picture.
You wonder how on earth do they do a job for a living, from which they have no idea. There was a second advisor that genuinely tried to help, but honestly, without mentioning your tips from here, they couldn't have helped me.
I learned a lesson in life.
- Don't rush.
- Check that the Screw-driver bit fits the given screw 100% before even trying.
- Go slow at a low speed.
Cheers guys!

You're best of with a normal hand operated screwdriver 9 times out of 10 imho.
Can tell when it's driving the screw properly and no chance of it camming out and wrecking the fixings.
If you're screwing 50+ screws then that's a different matter.

I think there should be a sticky on extracting mashed up screws, there are lots of techniques. Much of it is an it depends! Elastic bands to left hand drill bits, flat head screwdrivers, cutting slots, screw extractors, drilling out... the list goes on
You can also get a 'diamond' paste that permits the screwdriver to bite into a damaged screw
