Woody, You are going to have to drill it out. So you will need to center punch the stud or get a 135 split point drill bit so it won't walk when you start to drill. Be very care full and drill straight and use the correct size EZ out for the screw. It will come out.

However, my first choice would be to drill out the stud large enough to use an " e-z out" then heat the area with a Mape gas torch (hotter than propane), then install and try to remove with the e-z out. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________Sick sense of humor?
