If something can be screwed (mechanical) it can be unscrewed.

Good point. The best they can probably do is alter the shape of the screw so the typical types of screwdrivers can’t work with it. I found a few screws like that on my car when I was installing something...had to borrow a special tool from somebody who works on cars and other equipment.

Agreed. My suspicion is that many of the people that take the screws out end up breaking the phone and then get mad because it's not covered under warranty.

Or at least drilled. Someone will come out with kits including an extractor and replacement screws within a week.

Speaking of drilling, while replacing my firing pin spring today, my gunsmith stripped the socket on an allen head screw on my benchrest rifle's bolt!

Ungh!

He's gonna mail it to me in a few days, but damn!
