How to remove a round-off screw from an iPhone?

SuperShires

Not sure if this is the right section to post but here goes:

 

So last weekend I decided to replace my battery, screen and Bluetooth/Wifi module in my iPhone 6s. All went well except for replacing the Bluetooth/Wifi module.

I need to replace it as the Bluetooth signal is so terrible that half a metre or so away from the device its connected to it will start to stutter.

Only problem is when I went to replace it one of the tiny 2.0mm screws was round off and it wont come out. How would I be able to get it out?

gorilla glue and a nail with the point being the same size as the screw head maybe ?  Just don't glue the nail to the phone by accident

Might have to give that a go, I tried super glue and a screwdriver bit but I didnt leave it long enough for it to set, one of the problems being I dont want to wait all day for it to set but a nail the same size as the screw might be a good idea, thanks!

Thats a different part to what I'm trying to remove, the part I'm stuck trying to remove is the Wifi/Bluetooth module located in the top left of the iPhone 6s

Yeah I know how to remove the parts mate, what I'm stuck with is that I have a rounded off screw stopping me from replacing a part; that's what I'm asking for help with.
