Its not the threads that are stripped but where you turn the screw with a Phillips screwdriver is all chewed up right? I have had luck with getting a very fine pointed pair of needle nose pliers and getting a grip on the outside edges of the screwhead. Also you can tap the screw by very carefully driving a very small drillbit into the top of the screw using an electric drill on low speed until it seizes and then turning the drillbit with pliers. Also the rubber band trick here:
