Kinda stripped the screw, and suggestions?
On the disc break the little circle screw that helps you remove the rotor, is kinda stripped, and suggestions on how to get it out?
I have an impact gun but dont think that would help any. might do more damage. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Drill it out and grind it flush with the spindle. Don't worry about replacing it. IMO, i believe they are there to keep disc's from falling off during car production.

Depending on just HOW bad it is... you might be able to get away with heat. I had the same problem on another car (think it was my Mx-6 or a buddies Del Slow) and we ended up quitting before we beat the screw up too much. We hit it with a torch for a bit, and it worked like a charm.
Not sure what condition your screw is in, but this might help you out a bit. Just make sure you don't slop fluid on it first, or else you may have a little "poof" to go along with the heating.
And if that doesn't work, I'd skip the impact and go straight with an Ez-out and a high quality drill bit.

Pass with the torch if not experienced, only because you have a chance of damaging the hub bearing if you don't torch it right.
i get those scred off with a air chisel gun every time, it only puts a small indent on the screw. but even then you need to know how to angle the tool...
so just spend the 15 dollars and get it done with the impact screw driver..
