Get one that fits into the stripped hole and you can do it gently by hand. They work well.

If there is still a bit of grip in the screw (you might try a non-metric size allen head or a different shape head if you have a set of screwdriver tips) and have someone assist you by gently lifting the top plate of the pre and rotating it counter-clockwise to "help" the screw out.
Awesome !
Thank you !
