A BROKEN IMPLANT REMOVAL SET MAKES IT EASY. (Synthes) That would the simplest way to do it. Crimping the head  and then holding it with a vise may help. The worst case scenario solution is to behead the screw ...get the plate off..later use a hollow mill around the screw stumps. This is as traumatic as a fresh fracture

Respected doctors
28 years male with radius platting came to us to remove implant after
7 years of his operation. I was unable to remove the screw as it
slipped with the screwdriver. I didn’t find any way to remove it.
Looking forward for valuable suggestions-

You need to give us xrays. What brand of device? Titanium? What stripped,
the driver or the head? What location, distal screws or shaft screws?

Dear Dr Praful,
I understand that the screw head slot has got rounded off and the screw
driver slips in the slot or does not snugly fit in.
There are special devices for thiese situations. I have used a system from
JJ Surgicals ( India ) it works well
