Default MAJOR PROBLEM!!

My engine screws ( the ones that hold the engine onto the chassis) are completely messed up ie the screwdriver just spins!
What can I do to remove my engine??
Any help very very much appreciated
thanks

there is a device called an "easy out" or a "retractor" and it is a drill bit that is threaded backwards so when you drill down the middle of the screw the screw will come right out.... or if the screws are easily accessible then use a dremel saw and cut a slit along the screw head and then use a flat screw driver to get it out... heres a link to a screw extractor [link]http://www.cvfsupplycompany.com/5pcscrewexse.html[/link]

Thanks, I heard of that reverse drill method. I think Ill try using a flat screwdriver and if that dont work its off to the hardware store!
