go and buy an impact driver
its like a screw driver that you hit with a hammer and it spins as it compresses
thats how i ended up getting mine out
then you can replace the screws with bolts

Weld a nut to the head of the screw and crank her out. Then replace with new stuff.

Take a little propane torch like they use in plumbing, and warm the bolt. It will melt the thread lock, and they come right out.
Most of the time.

Treefrog169 and JR8fan have the best suggestions.
On doors, I tried them both (along with impact tools and drilling) and the best results I had was with welding. I used painter's tape to hold the nut in place then I cut where the tape covered the thread part of the nut. I laid a big wad of steel as deep as I could get into the nut. This attached the nut to the bolt head and heated loose the locktite material applied at the factory. I managed to twist off the first nut so I welded a second nut and then laid a bead on the outside of the nut where it rested on the bolt after removing the flaming remains of the painter's tape. A quick tug on the nut with a socket and the bolt came right out. When you try this, be sure to grind down the top of the bolt to expose bare metal. That way the weld will stick better.
Propane torch works best with sheetmetal screws like the ones on the front of the clip.

I don't know how I missed this thread.
First, make sure that you're using a #3 Phillips bit. The garden variety is a #2 which will quickly strip. A proper #3 will twist the bit before it will strip (as me how I know). I put the bit in a socket and turn it with the socket wrench. Press HARD as you turn to keep the bit from slipping out. I used to use many of the methods above, but found this to be the easyest, and no fucked up paint from the heat. If you strip a screw beyond repair (or already have). Grind a notch in it and use a punch in the notch to turn the screw. The worst one I ever had was a roll-bar screw after a roll. It was under a lot of stress. I had to grind opposite sides of the screw, and take it out with a wrench.

I've used a number 3 phillips and clamped vise grips to the handle and pressed as hard as I could while turning the vise grip. Also helps to tap the screwdrive in with a hammer, this helps break the loctite,and rust loose a little.

You tap the screwdriver into the head of the screw, before you start to press and turn. should have put it in the right order huh?
