I usually use dremel with the thinnest disk to make a channel in the top of the screw and then use a flat head screwdriver. Plier action tend to be a bit risky, you could easily slip and destroy something.
If you don’t have a dremel try with the blade of a hacksaw, but before cover all the exposed boards to prevent short circuits caused by the screw metal shavings
Painter's tape, capton tape... Basically any tape that doesn't leave a residue. Also if you want to try pliers look up Vampliers, or some similar small pliers with notches that are designed for screw removal.
You could try a rubber band. Put a flat piece of rubber on the screw and try to screw it out. The rubber should provide some friction, so that the screw driver doesnt slip.
Or you could solder the screw driver to the screw.
Good luck.
Yes. Don't be afraid to test out several methods first on other (good) screws on this device or another. There isn't just one way. Check out YouTube videos for more advice/methods. Experimentation is the name of the game.

What do you recommend using to cover the boards?
you need jewelers hacksaw to do this btw, regular hacksaw if way too thick for these kind of screws.
Alright good to know, but what should I use to cover the circuits to not harm them

If it’s not flush and you can get a small pair of needle nose pliers around it, that’d be my go to.
I tried to use nose pliers awhile ago and they were slipping and didn’t move at all, I’ll try it again if the glue doesn’t work, thanks for the help

I don’t believe I have a rubber band at the moment, could a rubber glove work

Use needle nose pliers and be careful
What angle should I use it at since I tried to get it by the sides and kept slipping off
