How to fix a stripped screw?

OK. On my MacBook 13'' which is broken, many of the Philips #00 screws are stripped. I try to turn them with slightly bigger screwdriver that has worked for them in the past, but the screwdriver just doesn't grip the screw hole. I don't have a dremel, nor do i have super glue easily on hand. what do i do?

I literally tried EVERYTHING. I tried the rubber band trick, holding down on the top of the screwdriver, i even tried a hammer to push the magnetic screwer in the void of the screw. NOW WHAT?!?

Depending on how stripped the screws are, you may be able to put a rubber band between the screw and driver to see if it can give you some grip.
