Are there any other ways to remove stripped screws from the bottom of my laptop?
I can’t even take the bottom off so I can replace the ssd inside it. I’ve seen many other solutions and, actually, tried a few of them, but most of them make a bit uncertain.
Any other safe, affordable solutions would be greatly appreciated.

First off, get yourself a proper tool kit with quality driver bits of the correct size. Even though they are stripped using the screwdriver you have, they may still be removable if you use the correct size
If that doesn’t work you can try a couple things that have helped me in the past
1 - Stretch a rubber band across the top of your screwdriver to create a thin layer of rubber that can help the bit grab the stripped areas of the screw. You have to press down a little harder to get this to work. I have had quite a bit of success with this method but it doesn’t always work.
2 - The other option I sometimes have to use is a little more destructive. You drill the heads off of the stripped screws. This is accomplished easily if you have the right size drill bit. Pick one similar in size to the shaft of the screws you are trying to remove. Then very slowly start drilling in the exact center of the head of the screw. Continue this only until the head is drilled through. Removing the bit frequently to check and see if you can wiggle out the head of the screw. Once the heads have been drilled off then you should be able to get your laptop apart. Once apart take pliers and twist out the shafts that are left from the screws. Do your repair then reassemble with the screws you have left. Order a kit of assorted replacement screws from here or Amazon or wherever. They cost a couple bucks. Put them in when they arrive. This method is guaranteed to work if done right.

Could you recommend the best extractor tool kit that I should use. I found these on Amazon.com. What do you think? https://www.amazon.com/Extractor-3-10mm-...

To get the bottom cover stripped screws out, I take out the screws I can, then use a sponger and insert it so that the cover is putting pressure on the screw from the bottom. Sometimes the screws will pop right out but this helps when trying to extract a partially stripped screw.
