Had that happen to me too because I bought a cheap dorman replacement. I used needle nose pliers and heated the tips up so that it softens the plastic screw enough to sink in a little so it can bite and turned it out. I only bought genuine bmw screws after that
The screws also have channels that run up and down the length of the screw you can try to use to get a better bite from the needle nose pliers
Thanks for that, I’ll definitely get a brass bleeding screw here soon.
