And, if you use a reverse-twist drill bit the screw may come out while you're
drilling. (See McMaster-Carr, etc.)

Buy an easy-out of the appropriate size at the hardware store.  It comes with a
drill bit and an reverse threaded screw.  Use a sharp center punch at the middle
of the screw head to center the drill bit,  Drill a hole in the middle of the
screw.  Gently screw in the easy-out, counter clockwise and the screw will come
out.   Bob.
