I thought about this, but I was assuming that the screw was too small for something like that.

Yeah, I sorta figured such as well, but aside from drilling the cap off of the screw, this was all that I could think of :-\

depending on how tight the screw is try placeing a thick rubber band between the screw and the the screwdriver sometimes that can work as long as the screw isnt super tight

If you decide to drill it be very careful. The screw can get hot and melt the plastic making your attempt kinda futile. (Speaking from personal experience. Lol) but sadly it was my last resort on the 3DS I was working on because the screw were so stripped it's all I had left I could do.
