>My idea was to use a small plier to take off the screw but then I would have to buy one that's small enough to enter the zone of the issue.
That might work.
The screw extractor is probably the best solution.
If you can find reverse thread drill bits, that could work too.Worst case they don't grab enough to turn the screw and you drill the head off. Then you can pull the plastic shell off since there's no head to hold it and with the shell removed there will probably be enough screw exposed to rotate it out with pliers.
Since I have an oscillating tool I would probably try cutting a slot in the screw head with a bit like pic related, then using a flat head screw driver to extract it.
