  I don’t really have superglue right now, and the screw looks like this far up, not sure it can be called tight or not.

    You could also padding out the screwdriver tip or the screw hole. I’ve used sticky tape before, but again if its tight your pretty much out of luck…

  That would have to be a pretty loose screw

  Pretty much this - depending how much surface area and how good the glue is you might get it or you might snap that right off too. If it fails the next step is to carefully drill the screw out. A somewhat riskier operation but itll get it open
