The left-handed twist drill removed the screw.  =8~)

The silver lining is that the jammed screw may have prevented 
scavanging of the video card.

Footnote: those screws fastening the card to the back plane are #3-56 
UNF.

Almost as rare as hens teeth.  Enough of the head remains that a slot 
can be cut for a flat blade screwdriver.

Also, diameter and pitch of M2.5x0.45 are exceptionally close.
Substitution possible.

No further probems shifting the video card from the 10 to the 5.

So both machines work.  Just need memory and another video card.
