Default Broken dizzy cap screws

just trying to do something that i THOUGHT was simple earlier today like changing out the rotor and distributor cap. after i got the rotor cap off and swapped out the rotors i went to put the cap back on and found out 2 of the screws had 1/3 stuck in the wholes on the dizzy.


how should i go about getting the rest of those screws out, hammer and a nail or something or completely remove the dizzy and then drill them out? only problem i have is if i remove the dizzy i don't know where my timing gun is, but if i mark it so i can know the position i should be ok?

just need some advice.

car is a 97 d16y7 btw

Just scribe a mark across the top ear and the head so you get it back in the spot. Then drill out the bolts.
