i believe theres tools or something but I usually just take a drill bit and drill through the sucker

line up the screw driver in the slot, hit the end of the screw driver with a hammer, unscrew. it's worked for me before.

I have a tool set made for removeing damadged screw's..

allso depends on how the screw is "housed" as far as the best way to get it out...

lots of ways. depends on what it it. you can drill it out if there is nothing on the other side to mess up. you can use a dremel or grinder also. just make a slot and use a straight screwdriver.

depends ont he screw and where it is located but there are a few ways

either get a dremel and a cut off wheel and cut a slot into the head of the screw to make it accept a flat head screwdriver

get a crafstman screw out set (work really well and arent very expensive)

or drill through the head of the bolt and gte a set of easy outs i think they are called, but they are just a reverse thread hardend screw that digs itself into the hole and removes the screw

they also work fairly well just take more time
