Trouble with m2 hard drive screw

[Leemacca13]

Hi everyone

 

I am currently trying to replace a m2 hard drive in a HP pavilion 14 but am having real trouble removing the screw that holds the current drive in place. I have tried a #0 and #1 Phillips but had no luck.

 

I just wondered if anybody had any ideas of what I could use.

Ah, I see you've modified it to a M5 round head

 

You may have to use small mole grips, or a dremel to cut a slot across the screw head so that you can use a large flat head screwdriver.
