Nylon screw: drill it out with any regular drill or dremel, then scrape out the threads. 15 seconds max

Honda must have been smoking crack when they decided to use those. I ******* hate any kind of philips head screws on cars. especially god-damn plastic ones.

y0 man, instead of buying new OEM plastic screws (which usually suck) you can buy some regular nuts and bolts. The plastic screws tend to make the bumper sag near the corner lights. To fix your problem, read these:
