Once, not in a piano, but the housing for the drain stop in a bathtub, 
this happened.  I got my dremmel tool with a small cutting blade and 
deepened the screwdriver slot.  It worked great.  I just installed a new 
screw however when reassembling.

I'm taking the strings off a Steinway upright. One of the screws on the 
pressure bar is frozen. Before I realized this, I used a smaller screw 
driver, and because the screw is made of a soft metal, the edges ripped 
off. I now have a larger screwdriver tip that fits the slot, but because 
the slot of the screw is worn off, (see picture),  the blade keeps 
slipping of the edge.
 
What do I do, short of drilling out the screw, which would mean buying a 
new one?
