I have just purchased an iBook, and while I was trying to undo the RAM guard, the screw got stripped on the top screw. What can I do about this, is there anything that Apple can do if it is under my warranty? Thank you so much.

I don't know what the policy would be. Give them a call. Surely since it's still under warranty they can do something for you. They might want to claim you damaged the screw and charge a fee for fixing the problem.

Yeah, call Apple first (or go to a local computer place that deals with Macs).
If all else fails, go to your local hardware store. They have different tools and things to help remove stripped screws. Bring along the other screw (assuming you got that one out OK) to give them an idea of the size. They should be able to help you out.

Hello,
I feel your pain. Good luck getting it all straightened out (no pun intended).
