Laptop screws stripped from factory.

So I tore into my HP Envy 6z-1100 to clean it and change the thermal paste to nt-h1 and when I got inside two of the screws that hold down the heat sink are stripped so the screw driver can't grip them. Before this it was only opened by me to upgrade ram. So how should I go about getting these out? And the laptop is 1 month out of warranty.

You can always drill the screws through but then you can't put the heatsink on. Do you have a sharp blade to cut the metal to fit your screwdriver in?

I think I will try to cut a slot in them with a cutting wheel.
