The screw remains stuck while the case moves, indicating a potential issue with the screw mechanism. This particular model is the MUSETEX ATX PC CASE, featuring 360mm radial support and full-view dual tempered glass mid-tower design. It includes three non-LED fans by default and is suitable for gaming PC builds. Available in black (K2) color.

If the board has brass standoffs with cross-threaded screws, the screw could come loose from the tray. You can bypass this by removing it carefully and taking it out with the motherboard. After extraction, grip the standoff with pliers or a wrench and attempt to undo the screw again. Dispose of both items as their threads are likely damaged.

I don’t see the video. It appears to be a screw securing the panel in place, not a standoff screw. We can proceed by checking the back area if needed. I also have access to the back component.

You can use a spudger or similar tool behind the screw head to apply lateral pressure and release tension. It seems the screw might have been over-tightened or misaligned, causing the threads to become damaged. Another method also worked for you.

Place something beneath the head gently, ensuring it doesn’t scratch the surface. Pull it toward you while rotating the screw outward. This method may work similarly with pliers—grip the head and turn it while applying pressure.
