How to remove stripped laptop screw?

I stripped this screw in my laptop and as such can't open the back cover to replace parts.

Things I've tried: -Different size/type screwdrivers -Rubber band -Hammer -Hot glue gun

Edit: got it unsuck. Thanks everyone for the advice

If it is filled with glue then I would try scraping it out with the tip of a utility or xacto knife
- It is filled with glue but I put it in after I stripped it to help with traction but it didn't help
  
  I think you want the screwdriver to seat as far down as possible so I would recommend you dig out the glue
