My stripped screw was sticking out of a concrete floor. Nothing worked until I tried locking the chuck from a cordless drill on top of it as illustrated here at 2:01. Brilliant solution! Thank you! Now I can get on with my life.

Very cool, thanks! 🤙 Should have demonstrated a screw that's all the way down/flush into the deck board. I had 2 out of 5 like that last week. Tried the rubber band in the stripped screw head trick I saw in another video, no dice. Ended up drilling down with a slightly larger bit to destroy the screw head, then pry the deck board up, sliding over the vertical length of the now headless screw(s). It worked, but ain't pretty. 10 minute job turned into 45 minutes of "screwing" around. The simplest frickin' things wind up being a
