The screw is lodged in the standoff, making it hard to remove. You tried using a tool to shorten the standoff, but now you can't turn the screw or pull it out safely. There might be a better way to free it without damaging anything.

Use a tiny screwdriver or locate the standoff, then grab pliers with sharp teeth.

Here you are. Both sides of the mainboard. Correction needed. Attempting again with pliers.

The screw is completely stripped and probably won’t come out with a screwdriver. Try using a plier instead.
