There are a few reliable ways to remove a stripped screw without damaging the surrounding material.
Try a rubber band or wide rubber pad between the screwdriver tip and the screw head first — the extra grip is often enough to get it turning again.
If that doesn't work, a screw extractor kit drills a small reverse-threaded bit into the screw head and backs it out cleanly.
