Is it the front plate or the rear? If it's the front you can probably push the plastic screw right through the bumper. Just be carefull not to puch the insert out.

Try a small screw driver to pry it out or even tweasers.

Sorry to hear about your boy

Get a smaller thinner screw and use that as a extraction tool. Screw the smaller screw into the back of the plastic screw. Once its sitted well, you can try pulled or carefully back the plastic screw back out. Wow, that was a lot of screws.

get a thumb tack and push it in until it catches and then use the tack by turning it and screwing it out.
