I use a Dremel too, but not to take the head off. Use a thin cutting

Back in the days when I used to help do aircraft annual inspections, we often
used this technique for inspection port screw heads that were stripped. It
works great most of the time.


It is good for many situations but I believe OP already
described this as one of the more typical plastic enclosure
methods where the screws are well-recessed, it would require
cutting a fair distance through the casing around the screw,
maybe even enough to make the casing structurally unsound
due to cutting the slots.
