Stripped Screw

This is somewhat embarrassing, but how do I properly remove a stripped screw? Needless to say, it's pretty badly stripped now. I did try PB Blaster and that didn't help.

FYI, this is for a little stand that connects to my computer speakers. The screws came off effortlessly on my 3 other speakers -- however, it wouldn't budge on one speaker.

Yo go to ace. They sell a thing that removes stripped bolts. Not sure how much it cost.

Thanks, will check the those options out. Such a simple task that's turned into a headache.
