They make screw extractors. You drill a small hole like in the center, or offset the use the extractor to twist it out. Also, a reversed drill bit will do the same thing. Or the old fashioned way, drill a small hole or centerpunch it off to one side. Then use a small punch and hammer to tap on it so it screws itself out.
