Rounded screw!

Hey, who can help. I have managed to get two screws stuck in my b4. they are 1/16th sixe countersunk. They nipped in too tight and i have now rounded them. I dont need to get them out at the moment in any case but when i do how can i best go about it? Drill carefully through? I have i got to hit JML website and accept i have reached a certain stage in my life?

You can dremel a slot into the screw head with a cutting disc. The smaller the disc, the less you'll damage the area around the screw. You can then get it out with a flat screwdriver.

ditto this is by far and away the best option. Take your time though and dont rush, try a little bit at a time
