Any Solution for when Midframe Screws are Stripped?

Hello! I got my google pixel as a refurbished device about a year ago. The battery expanded so much that the screen popped off. To replace the batter I got to the step where I unscrew the midframe, but half of the screws were already stripped so I couldn't get them out.

Is there any solution that would allow me to still get the midframe off so that I can disconnect the battery?

you could try to cut in a groove with a small saw and turn it into a Flathead screw or ad another groove to make it a phillips

That seems difficult and uncertain. However I will certainly try that soon if it is my only option, and I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't have a saw that small, is there something particular you had in mind?
