I have a Corsair Omega Spec RGB with issues. The side panel is stuck, and the screws look poorly made. After removing them, one end broke and another wouldn't come out. I pulled out the broken piece but damaged the threads, leaving some behind. One screw was bent, while the other had misaligned threads. The screws are zinc, so anyone with advice would be helpful.

Without a new case, just remove the screws by using a tiny bolt extractor set or a reverse drill bit.

The screws were taken out, but the threads were torn off while removing them. The screw was stripped, leaving the threads inside the hole.

It's time to upgrade—bigger screws, fresh cases, or just add more threads if room allows.

I found out it employs m4 threading. I plan to purchase threaded inserts and steel thumb screws.

Using a drill and larger screws for better results.
