Drill them out, its what I had to do. Actually once the head is drilled the tps will come off. Then use vice grips on the stud.

Pb Blaster, from the auto store

Pb Blaster, Yellow can, spray that on there. It will osak in and make getting the screws off easy.

Also, lightly tap the top of the screw driver with a plastic mallet while turning to the left.

You can get them out easy.

I just used vice grips to loosen the screws. It mangles them, so you'll want to get new ones.
