joycon gets stuck in rail after reassembly

my left joycon, after playing handheld for a bit or leaving the joycon docked for a few hours gets stuck, and i need to wiggle it to make it unstuck. my lower screw on the shell, the one closest to the rail, is stripped, and the rail is a tint bit loose, as when i exert pressure on it it moves like 0.2 mm. i didnt touch the screw that joins the rail to the shell. is it safe to play this way. i am really scared i might ruin the switch or the joycon long term, making me unable to play handheld. any help would be greatly appreciated, either telling me if the problem is only the screw, or about the technicalities of keeping it this way. the stripped screw is really pushed deep and i dont know if i can screw it more. i really need an answer

If that's the case, you could take a power drill and a very thin drill bit and try to drill holes on both sides of the screw so that you could turn it with a flat head screwdriver or maybe a spanner. Then you could get the screw out and figure out why it's getting stuck.

First of all, I would suggest that if you have a charging station for those joy-cons, use it instead of the console and play in handheld with them detached. This would at least assure that you could continue playing handheld without worry of them (the joy-cons) becoming permanently stuck. Secondly, what sort of procedure were you doing on these joy-cons? And thirdly, is the stripped screw open enough to reach with needle nose pliers? If not, you might need to break off a chunk of the plastic shell to get to it with some pliers (don't do this unless you're desperate!)
