Removing screws without stripping heads, any Recomendations?
«

Ok, this may sound crazy, but I am finding more and more that Commodore really liked to tork their screws down and used really soft screws for their products.
First my CDTV and now on my second A2000, I am finding the motherboard screws very easily striped. I am not using the wrong tools and it seems like the screws heads take no effort to strip them (just 1 turn)(like the heads are just soft?)
Any suggestions? I was trying to remove the motherboard to change the battery. This is very frustrating and I would hate to take a dremel to tap out the screws. :madashell:

Thanks guys, I will try these,
I have worked on many old PC's and Tandy computers over the years, and this is the first time I have ever had this problem so frequently, and to have a whole motherboard too boot (except for 2 screws).
