No its not stripped,...


So drill it out and try a screw extractor...or, as somebody else already
said, make the drill as large as the hole it's in and you'll have
essentially nothing left that can't just collapse and pull out...

You are all overthinking it. Drill the head off, punch the screw
body through, and remove the clip. Insertion does NOT require turning
the screw and with the head drilled off you can poke the screw through
with a small punch or even an awl.
