    Some **** tell me how to get the ****ing thing out.

    I've tried drilling the ****er, I've tried using a rubber band but the ****ing thing won't come out.

    UNscrew it. This is generally done by turning the screw in the opposite direction to the way you put it in.

    Welcome.

    It's a screw and some ****ing ****er screwed it tighter than the virgin marys ****.

    I can't be too rough either cause its a hard disk I'm removing.

    cover it in super glue ... when it hardens, use plyers to pull it out a bit ....

    then claw hammer it

    Does it have a head or is it countersunk?If it has a head you could try filing or use a piercing saw to create slot for screwdriver.If it's from a hard disk probably small screw so maybe you can get a grip on it with a nail pliers?

    very thin drill bit - on reverse - to get it moving. Failing that apply extreme ultra-violence to the immediate vicinity.

    It "had" a head. My rage has long destroyed what was left of it though, had already tried creating a new flathead slot but it failed miserably.

    I think I'm just gonna give up <speed>

    Drill it out and use a bigger self tapper to replace it and a spot of WD40 will help
