That screw is totally stripped, most likely you won't be able to unscrew it using a screwdriver.
Use a plier to unscrew the screw

Took some time but got it out. Thanks for the help.

My m.2 screw is stuck in the standoff. When u instaled it, I used a to short standoff and now i can't turn the screw or get the standoff out. Is there a way to get it out without risking to dameg anything?

get a small screwdriver or to get the standoff out find some pliers with teeth
