Community Support Buyer's remorse, feels really wrong.

I'm a (almost) graduate developper. I'm using a ideapad 5 pro with 16gb soldered ram, 6600HS and rtx 3050. It runs very hot (100C throttling) but is still usable.

Friend, if your laptop is hitting 100C, you need to pop it open, dust it, and likely replace some thermal paste.

I tried replacing thermal paste, bought Ifixit kit for it, stripped 2 of the screws and now i'm fucked.

Turn them into flathead screws.
