Umm... instead of repairing it yourself, send it to RapidRepair and they will probably replace the screws. Not to knock DIY projects or anything, this would be a win/win for you though.

if you have a dremel and a small enough tip, you can create new screw holds. but that might be too risky, as you might damage the insides of the device.

That's my point. I don't want him to damage the device. That's why he should get it done by a pro.
