Default DAMN SCREW WON'T COME LOOSE. any suggestions???

?????????

i'm changing the side mirrors on my car right now and I'm taking off the screws so I can remove the door panel...but that one screw that's behind the inside door-handle won't come loose!!! I've tried different screwdriver sizes, I've tried "trying harder." NOTHING WORKS~!

Maybe i'm just posting because i feel so defeated and PHUCKED but is there any tips to get this fugger off?

sounds like you stripped the head of the screw . the only way to get it out is to drill off the screw head either that try to use a small set of vicegrips to work it out but there isn't too much room there to do that
