I acquired this 2012 PC from a flea market and needed to take out the cooler for CPU refurbishment. However, one of the four screws won’t budge—even after trying all other fasteners. The screw’s back slides with the unit, making it impossible to tighten or loosen. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Apply sufficient force when gripping the opposite side; a second pair of hands is recommended since it may be challenging to achieve enough torque with a screwdriver while keeping the rear stable.
