Default look what i spotted at the bottom of my door

just getting out of my car and look what i noticed hanging out at the bottom of my door:



yes its a screw and i cannot get the thing out because the head is bigger than the hole that its sticking out off.

i can only assume that its come off from something inside the door itself and not the door card. i know how to open the door card but i think that would be a waste of time as the screw seems to be inside the door itself.

any ideas on how i can get it out and where it might have come from?
