So this is connecting a fry pan handle and is loose but does not seem to exactly be a philips. Im not sure the picture is the best as it does seem its odd shape is intentional.
Another thing to try before replacing the whole pan if the screw is too rounded/stripped to back out is a screw extractor set. You basically drill a small hole in the screw for the extractor bit to bite down on, then use the extractor bit to back the screw out. The extractor kits are generally fairly inexpensive.
