do you have an easy-out set? (kinda like a tap, but have a reverse-thread-type spiral) drill a small hole in the screw head, insert the easy-out, unscrew...works on aircraft all the time

use a file or dremel tool to cut a straight line across it so u can take it out with a flat screwdriver. if you cant do this, drill it out very carefully.
