You need a screwdriver with a Philips size 0 tip. This is what I use (and it also includes a Philips size 1 tip which is also needed for notebook screws). The handle is a good size for providing controlled force and the tips are machined.

To remove the damaged screws you need a screw extractor. The smallest of the set here might fit since it says 3mm). You will need to find something similar but first try using a good screwdriver pushed down as hard as you can before trying to turn.

See this thread about replacement screws.
