Was tried to replace the screen on my MacBook Pro a2159 2019 model. While removing p2 pentalobe screws on WiFi antenna radio bar, came across a screw that was already stripped. I am stuck there and can’t remove it. What would work? Also can I buy a replacement p2 pentalobe screw?
Is dit een goede vraag?

It sounds like you’ll need to drill out the remaining screw. If the head is still present try heating it up with a soldering iron, then try turning it while hot. Apple used a thread seal that softens with heat, otherwise you can get the Loctite solvent Loctite SF768
Here’s the screws Antenna Screws

Any recommendations for which drill tool/bit will work for p2 pentalobe screw. For trying soldering iron, any recommendations on the tool?
@rrp48565 - As the diameter of the screw is only 2mm you wouldn’t want more than 1.5mm so you don’t loose the case side threads. You would also want a left hand drive bit so the direction of force is with the direction of the screws removal.
A 35Watt pencil iron should be enough. I would really give that a try first.
Have you tried using a small flathead screwdriver? When i strip a screw, that is always my go-to,
