    Hello
    So I have a M1330 and I tried to take off the hard drive but the two screws that are deep I couldn't take off and by accident I rounded them. How can I take them out there pretty tight in there.

    You mean you stripped them? Ouch. That's going to be a huge pain the behind. I guess you could try super gluing a screw driver to the screws, or use a screw extraction kit. Though I've never used it.

    well there are not completely stripped. The inner most part of the screw still has the cross.
