It's really little and inside a hole. I used the wrong size screwdriver!

Drill it out & replace it with a bigger screw, if its big enough to drill a hole in the centre of it go to hardware store & buy an 'easy out', it will reverse the screw out for you.

Since you said it is really little makes me believe you cannot use an easy out. If you have a Dremel tool you can carefully cut a line through the center over the top of the screw and follow up with a straight screwdriver. Another means that has worked is to use a chisel punch and tap onto the edge of the screw to break it loose. Just keep tapping and eventually it will at least break off. Then you can finish drilling it out and install a larger screw. good luck.

if it has curve head you can use cutter by clamp it from the outside to the center and rotate the cuter in opposite od clockwise direction,in case of flat head youo must use drill to pierce it and temper the whole and fix another screw instead of it
