update:

Removed one of them. The other is completely stripped. The screws have a hex around them so hopefully I can fit a rachet in there. If not, then I guess I'm SOL. Unless anyone has anyother suggestions?

Square bit? That's what i use when I strip out philips. If not what about a electric screwdriver with a long extension and socket?
