1. Drill a hole slightly smaller than the head of the screw into the middle with a drill bit, making sure to go slowly.
2. Then using a screw extractor that matches the size of the screw, extract it from the hole.
3. Afterwards, you can fix the stripped hole with wood putty.

Here's another good guide.
