Try turning it to the left.
Simple theory...
"Left to loosen, right to tighten".

try to slip something thin (like a small flathead screwdriver or butter knife) under the head of the screw to sort of pry it up while you try to turn and loosen it... might help the threads bite.

Try a power drill. My screw came out in a second after attaching a phillips head to my power drill. Unfortunately, I tried for about an hour before I used the drill :?

put crazy glue on your finger tip, now turn your whole body while pulling the screw until it comes out. Make sure your laying down on the ground.
