If you tightened it enough to rip off the head, you've overtorqued it so much that you would need to drill it out.

If you are really good with a dremel and can somehow notch a groove into what's left of the screw so you can fit a screwdriver in there it might work but you'd probably damage your grip in the process. If you take off the plastic grip on the other side you might be able to get at it from inside the frame across the other side but I doubt it.

If you are lazy, just glue the screw head back in and leave it.

I don't know why people have the urge to overtighten things that much. Use loc-tite next time. Another friend just ripped off the head of a screw on a $5000 watch he was fixing himself becasue he was paranoid about screws falling out! Yikes!
