The hot metal is softer, allowing you to simpley drive your screwdriver into it and (hopefullly) create a new screw hole.
Hope this works. If not, let me know, ok?
But like I've said before, be careful not to melt the plastic on the laptops casing, because that may cause problems in the future with the circuitry inside and the case.
i dont really feel comfortable sticking a hot screwdriver in it at this point. How hot are you recomending?
How how? Well, the metal of the screwdriver would need to be red-hot. I'm guessing you don't want to do that, either.
I was thinking you could go to a craft or hard ware store, and look for a knife with a long handle. You can stick it into the hole and chip away at the metal on the screw. I suggest you wear protective gloves so you don't chip away at your hands, instead.
If that doesn't work, again, let me know. I have a few more things up my sleeve.
The Flush mount screw
