There are several good suggestions to choose from. If the others don't work
there is always the ez-out. They make a set of dies that have reverse
threads on them. You drill a small hole down the center of the shaft of the
stuck screw. Then you screw in the reverse threat die until it tightens up.
Remember, being reversed thread you screw it in counter-clockwise. When it
will screw in no more, it will remove the screw. It works for rounded bolt
heads or whatever. I've used mine maybe four times in the 15 years I've had
the set. Usually I can grip the screw head with channelocks or wirecutters
or something. If I had to find the easeouts..........that would be as big a
chore as working the screw out.
