Repair mavens: I have this tightly stuck screw with a stripped philips head holding a ceiling fan blade to ritir. It’s slightly under rotor rim so screwdriver can only get at it at a slight angle off vertical. How do I get it off? A rubber band hack from YouTube didn’t work.

Longer Philip's bit
Use a screw extraction bit
Use a dremel cut wheel to carve a slot for a flat head screwdriver
Grind down the sides to get a pair of pliers on it
Use JB weld to glue something onto the screw head that gives you enough leverage to turn it

filed away as things to try. For now since only one blade isn't coming off, I'm thinking of just packing the damn thing.
