Stripped Hard Drive Screw

I was going to test the clone I made of my hard drive for my XPS M1330. Three of the screws holding the original drive came out easily. The fourth was either already stripped or stripped instantly as I tried to remove it. I've tried all sizes of Philips drivers. None get any grip on the screw. It's the shallow sunk inside screw. Anybody out there with any suggestions?

Don't know its real name. It's something I got a long time ago to remove a funny headed  screw in a car trunk. More sides/fins than a phillips and a slighly flat tip.
