Can you get access to saw or dremel a slot in the screw? You can then use a flat bladed screwdriver to get them out. Cut the slot as deep as you can into the head of the screw.

Tried the cutting a slot with jnr hack saw but couldn't get deep enough, will try borrow a dremmel.
Last time I tried to drill something out it was a snapped bleed nipple, that didn't go well as the new nipple just leaked and I had to get a new caliper off Mr Husky

If you drill the head off and leve the shank you can sometimes get moles on it.
Get a quality screwdriver.it helps allot and soaking with viniger when its in allot helps too.

I don't know if I did a right thing, but I bought a 1/2in socket set than no one recommended here. I went to motorist discount shop in Newbury and spotted nice set reasonably priced and I didn't think twice. Any one heard about Kamasa tools?? Anyone have them?? what do you think.

Ps Main thing that convinced me to buy it was 72 teeth ratchet.

Kamasa are reasonable "value" tools, You should be OK with them

I've got some Kamasa spanners I can't fault them

I've had them for over 20 years, not rusted or worn out with plenty of use in that time

So +1 to Tim's comment

Kamasa have certainly been around for a long time, assuming the name hasn't just been "passed around" different owners so to speak. My Dad has a socket set by them, must be 20yrs of occasional use by now, it's fine.
