So a few months ago, my retention screw stripped and it was tight enough when that happened that my blade is now stuck in the Saber. I emailed Ultrasabers about it, but haven't had a reply or anything since then.
My biggest concern is getting the screw out so I can remove the blade, then I can just buy a new retention screw. However, I have no idea how to go about getting the stripped screw out of the emitter.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I Googled this, only because i was curious myself.  The first tip/trick that came up was to use a rubber band; put the rubber band over the screw head, firmly insert your screwdriver, and then slowly unscrew it.  If a rubber band isn't available, part of the scouring pad from a sponge can be used as well.

Not sure if this would work with a retention screw, but it's certainly worth a try.
