C300: Loose LCD attachement

Since getting my C300s, I often had to tighten the tiny screws which secure the LCD shoe attachment. Overtime, the 4 screws became stripped and so today, I ordered new ones. Problem is that 2 out 4 are so worn that I can't get them out. Also, it looks like blue Loctite was applied to those screws at the factory so, that doesn't help either. Any tip to remove a tiny stripped screw?


And by the way, the LCD attachment is really weak point on C300s. No matter how careful one is when moving the camera around or during transport, it will eventually become loose. I wish Canon would have use larger Torx screws and no tiny Phillips, those are the worst type of screw to use in that kind of application.
