I mounted a mini itx board on the CM n200, and got misleaded by the appearence of the psu  and mobo screws... They were almost identical but the psu ones were a little bit bigger. So I screwed all the standfoffs lke this

O X
O O

The psu one went on the X, doesnt go all the way in and doesnt come out... (Its half way in).
Is there a problem in stability? Will it damage the board in some time?
Thanks.

Why did I study Haskell?

It should be completely fine, but it wouldn't hurt to try your hardest to remove the screw and replace it with the correct one.

Thing is, Its not my pc... I dont have it at the moment... But I tried to remove it and the stand off came out :(

Hold the stand-off with pliers and try again :)

(remove the motherboard) Pinch the standoff with a pair of pliers turn the screw counterclockwise with a proper fit screwdriver. Should come out.

Shouldn't cause any issues. If the chassis is shipped somewhere it might have problems but stationary it shouldn't affect anything.
