get a needle nose pliers

 

i cant guarantee that it'll work, but it's the next best option you've got i think

 

idk what screw grab does but if it's some type of glue, then you're very screwed because it seems to have leaked everywhere and might've stuck the screw to the bracket even more

i would invest in a needle nose plier before buying a new motherboard, since it costs way less

but that's also a viable option indeed

 

for future reference, if your screw driver jumps as you're screwing, you're using the wrong sized bit and you shouldn't continue

Ye screw grab is supposed to give u friction when drilling some of it ended on the mobo which is why I’m thinking off getting a new one it’s honestly shame but nothing else I can do il probably sell the one I’ve currently got for 50 dollars

Drill it out with smaller bit, then use plier to wiggle the rest out.
Clean it up, never use the hole for a screw again. Fasten it all leaving the worked on hole open. Then hope really hard it still boots.
Keep it in mind when using. Should still be ok to work. Unless like you said theres some goop somewhere it doesnt belong.
