You can drill it and insert a screw extractor, or you can use a cut off wheel in a dremel and grind a slot into the head of the screw. Once you do that, you use a flatbladed screwdriver to remove the screw.

If locktite is possibly present, heat it up as well. Its worth the time unless you know there isn't any locktite. I would hate to have ONE good bite with an extractor/easy out or anything like that, and mash away more material.

Just a thought.
I'm sure you know wether or not locktite was used as yourself put it back together!
