Superglue might work in a similar way but could vary depending on the situation.

It's likely to be successful with a small M2 screw. You can try applying glue or using a screwdriver, then let it set before proceeding.

It seems the rubber band technique should still apply to your situation. As before, a small flat-head screwdriver might be effective. If those don’t work, consider soldering or carefully lifting the screw head from the M.2 SSD using a small flat-head driver, then gripping it with pliers and twisting it out. Please be very cautious—this could worsen the issue. In the future, ensure you use the right size screwdriver head; stripping them is a poor idea.

I prefer paper towels over rubber bands—it functions nicely too. However, if that doesn’t work, resort to using glue, but be careful not to create a mess.

Absolutely, I hope I handled the screwdriver with more care.

We've all experienced this situation at some point. Often it involves a desire to act fast, using the wrong method instead of the right one, leading to disappointment. Don't stress too much—what matters is that others have discovered clever solutions to fix things.
