I had to get some of them boogers off my MF135

used a dremel tool with thin cut-off wheel to make the slots deeper, sprayed screws with PB Blaster

while that was soaking in, ground a screwdriver with flat sides to width of the dremel slot

with vise grips clamped on screwdriver for extra leverage and with max pressure pushing down on screwdriver, got most of the screws out

busted a few screw heads in half from grinding too deep, used dremel to cut other 1/2 of head off

after cover was off, could get visegrips on shank of screws with broken heads, soaking good in PB Blaster does wonders

If the part can accept some heat, weld a nut onto the top of the screw head. After the new assembly cools, use a wrench to remove them.

may or may not apply for your use but thinkgs i have found useful. kroil penetraiting oil smacking the bolt w/a hammer spraying some more. the "fluted" bolt extractors like a socket has "screws" on the inside for rounded off bolt head those seem to work. heat works but quench it as well. if you dont quench it you just heated it up and made it easier to twist off. seen alot of rookies heat bolts lines up etc and get them cherry red to "burn the paint off" and hten twist them before cool that just makes them eiser to twist off it the metal is hot you have to quench it or let it cool before you try turning them. easy outs as far as im concerened are misnamed. if the bolt head wouldnt turn it out why would drilling it and pushing four tiny corners twist it out? if all else fails drill it and keep drilling and tap it.

A cold chisel on the side of the head, driving the screw in the right direction will usually loosen such. Similar to an impact driver.

Should have mentioned, at work I have a machine that cuts cable with a pair of carbide blades. Blades are held into holder recess with #6 or #8 (don't remember) flat head socket head screws. If the socket rounds out I have found that a center punch driven in the direction for removal will do it. A few taps here, and there as near to the outside of the head as I dare and it will spin. These are not rusted though I will admit. rust can add a whole new dimention.

I've had good luck with easy outs on pan head screws that are a #10 or larger. Use a left hand drill bit as well to get them started if available.
