If you've tried to work on your drone, you have found that the manufacturer uses the same fasteners that a cell phone maker does on a Mavic Pro. Very small T 5 screws. My problem is that when I took the top shell off, my cell phone tools and bits reemed out a couple of the fasteners and now I can't get them out.

Does anyone have a way of removing these small fasteners when there is no bite on the T 5 tool?
 
There is a type of tool called a 'screw extractor' - it comes in lots of sizes, and is used by drilling a hole in the screw, then turning one of these in until it binds - then turn more to losen teh stripped screw. They are reverse threaded, so that the act of turning them into the 'broken' screw, is the right direction for undoing it!
You would have to seek out one of these that has the right size tip to fit the hole you have made in the top of the T5 screw ...
