striped a screw

Try repeatedly tightening it up and then undoing it. This can sometimes help to remove a cross-threaded screw.

okay, well

Are you using a crosshead (philips) or a flat head? What you want is a small flathead, with a large but thin end, and not a garage screwdriver.

I have tried both to no avail.

You seem to have all your options written in the link that Airbot gave you.

from site:

Use a manual screwdriver rather than a power drill. You will be able to put more pressure on the back of the screwdriver (to increase friction) and to go more slowly. Not all drills are strong enough to exert as much torque as you need to remove a recalcitrant screw. Some chuckless drills will actually lose their grip on the screwdriver bit if you put too much torque on them (especially in the reverse direction)

Im using a manual screwdriver

Get more torque with a socket wrench. If you need a lot of torque because you are hurting your hand or you are not getting results, the best tool is a socket wrench, a common part of many professional screwdriver sets. This allows you to get 6 inches or more of lever arm rather than the half-inch or so a screwdriver handle produces. This greatly increases the amount of torque you can put on the screw for a given amount of hand pressure.

Im not hurting my hand

Use a screw extractor.

EDIT:Okay, I tried that and got it up to where its slightly past the case of the laptop, so I can grip it with pliers now,

There's more options and tips than just that. For instance..

If the screw is a machine screw or bolt going into metal use a lubricant such as WD-40, PB Blaster, or similar penetrating oil. It really does make a HUGE difference. It lowers the torque required to remove the screw considerably and thus makes any of the removal techniques far more likely to succeed. Doing any removal without it just makes it harder.

Actually, I didn't think about using wd40, will try.

Have you tried a few drops of penetrating oil on to the screw and leave to make it's way down the threads?

I am trying that right now, so it will probably be about another 10 minutes.
