Door Panel stuck on...

So I'm trying to get this door panel off, and this LAST screw is both stripped and rusted in.

I got 0 power tools, any suggestions?

Pull. The clips those screws go into are made of plastic and are usually stripped anyways. It doesn't take much force...

That's actually what I did. I just was coming back to update it... that I just decided to force it out, and it came rather easily.

Next time I'll just try that. :p Didn't wanna break it however at first. haha

Thanks though.
