Stripped Screws

If you've got time and patience, you might try this:
Use a TINY DROP of krazy glue to glue something to the head of the screw that won't come out. When it dries, you'll have something you can get ahold of to remove the troublesome screw.
The thing to watch out for is getting glue on the TP holder. If that happens, the old screw will be glued in place and then you'll be worse off than when you started.
An old screwdriver or a screwdriver bit might be the thing to glue to the screw.
One more thing: are you sure the problem isn't that the screws are actually toggle bolts? The symptom would be the same, and in that case, the "glue" fix would probably work as well as anything.
