i stripped a screw on my 3ds xl, i got most of them out with a phillips screwdriver but one wouldnt get out and now its stripped

how do I take it out and what kind of screwdriver do I need to remove these screws?
I heard about it needing a JIS screwdriver

it deppends of the degree of strip, if any of the grooves are present you can use a flat one, but if is completely striped a dremel could be needed.

which on is needed for the screws on a N3DS XL?

Phillips 0 are the best for the job, JIS was on the past set of screwdrivers of precision sizes, but today the regular Phillips are well dimensioned
thanks for letting me know

the one i got doesnt seem to be working though, it looks like a low quality one
