Stripped Screw Removal?

[Nanokillzx33]

I bought a used mining RX580 and was hoping to clean it once I received it but one of the front plate's screws were rusted and got stripped when I was trying to unscrew it.

 

Any ideas how to remove the screw or how to clean the fins without taking the front plate off would be much appreciated

Find a rubber band and place it over the screw, push down through the band and twist. Or you could just use canned air or an air compressor to clean out the card, there usually isn't too much dust you can't access with the shroud on. Make sure to hold the fans in place when you do this.

rust means moist, not good for the environment of a pc.. 

 

on cars we usually just drill off the head on slow speed with a medal drill bit.
