Hi all.I inserted a bigger screw by mistake in the motherboard standoff hole, and now i can't unscrew it.Everytime I screw it by a full circle it causes a loud click sound, but doesn't make any progress.It just seems to be stuck, Any suggestions? Or should I leave it like that cause I don't plan to remove the motherboard any time soon?

fix it now, so it won't be forgotten when removing later.

remove motherboard from case and remove the issue screw. sounds like the screw threaded into the soft copper standoff and now is sandwiched the motherboard PCB.

once the mobo is pliers and screwdriver to remove wrong screw.

Thanks, I managed to unscrew.But I have scraped some of the metal on the edge of the motherboard hole.Would that be a problem?
