So I was trying to remove the full cover of the GTX480 and some of the screws are simply not turning(even with the right size bit). After a few hours trying I have now eaten up the hole?(dont remember whats the proper word, basically the place where ur screw driver goes) So now its all a big round piece of metal with no chance to unscrew it.

Anything special/trick that can open them. Otherwise no GPU cooling for me, :(

You just stripped it. What I do (if there is enough of the head to grab) get a pair of pliers, squeze really hard, and try to turn without them sliding off. Since its on a vid card, you might want to put down something around the screw so you dont scratch the PCB.

Worst case scenario is a left hand drill bit.

I'd use and easy out. IDK if you can find one in India though. I'm surprised rick the mechanic didn't mentioon one.

Easy out

I just use Pump Pliers ....

You will need a new set of screwws when you go to put it back together

Or you might find some from and old card you don't want or is dead that will fit.

Easy out

Working on such small screws and delicate areas I still recommend the left hand drill bit method. If unable to grip the head with fine pliers, the left handed bit will most likely spin the screw out as soon as it bites. Any extractor will require you to drill first, so it may as well be a left handed bit you attempt first.

I was thinking that there might be a big eonugh opening from the stripped head that the easy out would catch without drilling. ??
