How are your welding skills? If the screw is steel, and you have a mig
welder, you can weld a nut onto the head of the screw and remove it quite
easily. THe trick here is to choose a nut whose inside diameter is just
slightly larger than the crew head. This gives you a very nice little cup
to weld in.
