  Trouble with Screws

Try a screw-grabber pair of pliers. I got mine from Lee Valley for under $20, but I'm sure there's lots of brands. The grabbing end has a recess that can hold a screw firmly, but you might have to remove some of the wood around the screw head to grab it.

  Trouble with Screws

Plan B.

Use a Dremel-type (small high-speed rotary) tool with a little saw-blade to cut a slot in the screw head (changing it from a Robertson to a slot). Set a big screwdriver (you could grind it into a half-moon to match the curve of the saw) into the slot, tap it set with a hammer, lock a vice-grip on the driver handle, and the screw will back out. And apologize for the trouble.

Plan C needs a crowbar, blowtorch and sledge.
