How to unscrew a torn bolt located next to the hard drive?

I wanted to change the thermal paste in my laptop. He removed the back cover, behind which are the hard drive, RAM, etc. On the video of other users (the video where they disassemble) the bolt connecting the hard drive to the case is easily unscrewed, but it doesn’t work for me - the screwdriver jumps off and the bolt remains in place. You cannot skip this step, because. the hard drive is connected to both the motherboard and the case.
An example of a video where another person disassembles this laptop: https://youtu.be/-lFvXwB-yW0?t=98 .

using a dremel or a thin file, make a transverse recess and unscrew it with a flat screwdriver. go to a jewelry master or where engravings are done if there is nothing to pierce.

Grab with thin pliers and twist.

1. Attach an elastic band, and a Phillips screwdriver on top and unscrew it by pressing.
2. Saw a groove for a flat screwdriver with a thin file.
3. Drill out the bolt with a small drill.
4. Grind off the head of the bolt completely with a needle file.

Drilling is not really an option, then the chips can do trouble.
Superglue doesn't seem to hold the twisting motion.
The option to solder or pliers is better.

It can be seen that the thread has come off, I have two solutions to this problem:
Attach an unnecessary screwdriver to the screw and drip a LITTLE glue. Wait for hardening and unscrew. The second option is more humane but more complex. Try soldering to the screw with tin and acid. This way you can apply a new thread and use the screw in the future.

I'm all for the superglue option.
