You can wait 10 days or just use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the screw.

Go with the needle nose pliers. Or 2 screw drivers. Or melt a PIC pen cap on to the screw to make a mold of it. Don't cut it open with a very sharp knife.

Once the screw is removed and you put the Everdrive in you do not even need a screw. The carts are constructed to interlock without a screw. The screw is there for when people handle it in a way to twist of bend the cart. If you handle it like a like a normal person the screw is not even needed as the cart holds together.

 

Kiwi... your options are amusing to say the least

It took me hours to unscrew that security screw to open my Game Gear. I was trying to make a notch with a world's sharpest knife, didn't really work out well. I'm extremely stubborn person.

 

He should be open a cartridge with a screwdriver. Just push it at the notch of the security bit. Those game plastic bits are easier to open.

I have the screw bits for it now.
