I've explored all possible methods, but drilling might be the only remaining option.

Based on the situation, using a few layers of plastic wrap between the screwdriver and the screw can sometimes assist. Then, applying pressure to the screw may help remove it.

or a small piece of tape between the drill bit and the screw head, anything that can aid in securing the remaining part of the screw.

It functions similarly, though a rubber band could be too bulky for tiny screws.
