Trying to swap out an old grip on one of my M4s and I'm having trouble removing one the screws because it seems it was way over-tightened out of the box. I can see / feel the head beginning to strip because my screwdriver is losing grip and I don't want to wear this thing down any further until I've figured something out - If it helps, the gun is a VFC VR16 CQB II (Mk.18)

Any tips on the best way to remove a stripped phillips-type screw from inside the confines of an M4 pistol grip?

And also, what are the screw-specs for this type of screw so I can go get some better ones from the hardware store?

[CLARIFICATION] - The screw I'm referring to is not the grip panel screw that lets you access the motor, it is the screw that attaches the grip to the gun itself after you've removed the motor from the inside

Many thanks in advance!
