Either there's a plastic nut on the underside you need to grab with needlenose pliers, or you'll need to push up on the plastic screw from underneath while you turn it. You can cut a better slot in it with a hacksaw. Or you can cut the entire head off with a hacksaw. Who gives a shit? It's plastic. Keep fucking with it until you get it out.

>Sorry
Being sorry is class.
May you new toilet seat give you all the comfortable support you deserve.
And remember to put it down or every woman in your life will silently resent you for it for years until they finally explode.

Pro tip: buy a proper wooden (painted) toilet seat, not some shitty duraplast one.
Pro tip 2: clean the toilet.
Enjoy your bathroom fren

For future reference OP, with plastic toilet screws I usually just just my hands to hold the screwhead in place while I turn the plastic nut underneath. trying to use a philips will instantly shred the super soft plastic, as you probably discovered. Only time you should use it is if you're having a hard time getting your turn started, and even then you wanna keep the screwdriver stationary while you grip the tab on the nut.
