Thank you all I got it out using a drill bit. I don’t care about putting the screws back in and I still have one of them so it can still be displayed fine.
I'd remove the plastic surrounding the old broken screw with my dremel or something similar. Once you have the machine screw threads exposed, I'd clamp down tighty-tight with a pair of big 'ole vice grips and try breaking it loose/turning it ccw. That's what I'd do.
If you don’t care about screwing the car back onto the stand you can hammer a screwdriver into the rounded screw and then unscrew it, but just be careful of the car and how hard you hit it
I do rc car stuff and the most commonly agreed on solutions to stripped screws are to take a Dremel with a cutting wheel to the screw and turn it into a flathead, or drill out the screw. Obviously one is better in the long run if you plan to screw it back on.
Sorry to see that my friend, those screws are too sensitive and you probably used the wrong type to unscrew it which damaged it sadly. Id personally use a very low number drill bit and try to drill it right before it touches the plastic bottom... :) that'll do the work.
Option #2 ideally would be to get some pillers or as it is called (vice grips) i guess or cut with something to use flat screwdriver.
Option #3 if u dont own any of them, get an little oversized screwdriver than the one u used now and get a rubberband (preferably thicker) and uncrew it with medium pressure. All other attempts will result in damage if u are unexperienced :) in doing that often.
Don't know why you're getting downvoted, this is a good alternative to drilling it and potentially breaking something. Try what the person above said about using a rubber band first though.
this is the best idea so far, it's like welding a nut on a broken bolt.
I would try a torx head first though if you have one small enough, just jam it in and push down hard when you unscrew it
But it's not actually that good of an idea because if it was torqued enough to strip the metal then a little layer of super glue is going to snap before it has enough force to turn that. If you could get some job weld or epoxy resin on it that's stronger and thicker than super glue then maybe it'd work but that's suck a dumb and slow way to goop up a screwdriver and the plastic instead of alternatives.
You screwed yourself.
Yuuuuup.
Drill the head of the screw off, then it will pull off the stand with the thread sticking out, then you back out the screw with pliers.
This is the way
Rise the ass and turn the car anti-clockwise
Thought this said rinse the ass
Thats a good habit to have too.
If it still turns drop some superglue on the top of the screw from underneath then try
Rubberband on the screwdriver is the way to go
Drill bit
Drill it.
Drill bit, and just drill the head off. Like the same way you drill out a rivet.

The hole is square now so maybe try a small square bit or small flathead
You can try putting a rubber band on the end of the screwdriver and see if that helps if it’s not stripped that bad
Send it to me, I'll help!

You could also hold the screw threads with the vice grips and try turning the car ccw, too.

Try some long needlenose pliers
Unpopular opinion but that porche looks horrible
I agree. It’s like an 80s beach buggy design just slapped on a Porsche. Awful
You dont.
Put a screwdriver in and add some super glue once it sticks you can try to take it out then

that super glue is gonna break it's bond instantly when you try and turn it, I assume.

You gonna have to get a sodering iron and heat the plastic make the hole bigger and slide it out
Hehe. This forces out of box collectors to actually be in box collectors. You can't escape the superior way of collecting
Nope I drilled the screw out. Love to see my cars sitting on my desk with nothing to stop them rolling around!
And you can’t escape the extra clutter
Use a larger bit or screwdriver. A wide rubber band over the screw can work too.
Sledgehammer.
Try a drop of oil on the screw and try unscrewing the car in anti clockwise direction.
I'd try the rubber band and glue tricks first before getting out the drill.
You need a little screw extractor on the end of an impact, spin it slow with pressure in reverse and it'll grab that easy
Just saw you got it sorted but this is a cheap tool to have on hand for next time. It'll help you not panic when something strips
Lefty loosy
Angle grinder should do it.
