Oh ok, thanks!

 

I still haven't removed the bottom portion of the screw.  It looks like it could take a while to remove since there's not much of the screw the needlenose can grab on to.

Thanks everyone!  

 

I was able to take the screw by the magazine out with a flat head and drilled out the other one.  I attempted with smaller screw drivers and trying to jam the flat head to somehow grab the screw, but it didn't work.  

 

Drilling out the screw felt very refreshing...  

 

If I use a putty to rethread it, will I be able to remove the screw?

I went rummaging through the toolbox at work and found some drill bits, small flat head, and a bunch of small Philips screw drivers.  Also found a Torx screw driver (maybe I can hammer it in?)...  

 

If I did drill the screw head slowly, will the plastic threads be destroyed?

I'm trying to get the screws out...  I don't imagine I'll be using those two screws when I put the blaster back together.  

 

I'll try to find another flathead (the one I have on-hand is slightly too big).  

 

The screw in the front looks like it's completely stripped.  Ugh.

Thank you for the responses.

 

The screw near the muzzle is practically rounded (I thought I could've taken it out if I put more pressure...Ugh...).  The screw by the magazine release button is still pretty good.  

 

I'm not exactly sure how to file down a screw driver...  But that is the most likely cause of it stripping the screws.  

 

I'm also not sure how to drill the screw head off...
