I would pull the airbox out of the engine bay so you will have better access to it. Then, take a very small screwdriver, coat hanger, or something of that nature, and use it to push up on the screw from the bottom while unscrewing it from the top. I think that should do it.
Get a bigger screw or use something to fill the hole that will harden. Then, screw the original screw back in and you should be good to go.

This is an issue that has been ongoing for a long time.
Tools to use:
1 Flat head screw driver
1 Philips screw driver
use the flat head screw driver to pin between the cover and base of the air box as near as possible to the hole. Hold on to the flat head and use the philips to back out the screw.
