Having trouble removing small HDD bay in NZXT Phantom

the screws holding the hdd bay are so tight it i stripped them trying to get them out. I have gotten lucky and removed 3 of the 8 screws. Tried to drill out one of the screws and broke the bit. Also tried rubber band and extractor bit methods.

At first i had trouble getting them out also. I used a different screw driver that had a long bit that got really wide and it did the job perfect. If need be i can post a pic of the screw driver. Last resort can maybe use WD-40 tongue.gif
