Dill the heads off, then use vice grips on the shank after you remove the disk.

yep. Alternately, you could buy an impact driver, and use that, but really, the screws aren't necessary, easier to just drill them out.

Go to a machine tool supply huse and buy some "LEFT HANDED DRILL BITS". 90% of the time when you are drilling the head of the screw off it will back right out!!

Go here if you need to order:
