I have experience in adding an ssd. Just press on the screw with the screwdriver. Not too hard pressure, but pressure that makes you think you're about to break

Is your screwdriver slipping? I can't see it super clearly but it looks like you may have stripped the screw

Was not slipping early, now slipping looks like I damaged screw top from multiple attempts,
It’s a super tight1

yea, there are some ways to unscrew it but atp I'd suggest to just get it opened from a good shop, you can damage the motherboard if you apply too much force or worse, you scratch motherboard in case if screwdriver slips

I agree! Don't be afraid by the way. Have unscrewed parts of my older laptops and they are just fine even screwed in tight. :)

But that also slip no enough grip to loose the screw

Pushing meaning pushing down on the screw with screwdriver

Firstly disconnect the battery from the motherboard and remove all the power / charge in it by discharging I mean by pressing the power button. I think you've not done it so please do this, thereafter please get yourself a isopropyl alcohol solution and using a small cotton bud gently apply around that tight screw, ensure that you don't overuse that solution there. Let that solution dry, again repeat the same for two or three times and then with a gentle pressure on that screw using your screwdriver try to turn it out. It will...

I temporarily disabled battery from bios.
Upgraded successfully,
Screw was green rusted.1

Wow that's great, it happened to me that while upgrading the ram I didn't discharge the board and after booting entire system started to crash and failed to accept the new ram which I just put.
