Default Anyone have a trick to remove rotor screws?

I've had a hell of a time trying to remove the screws that fasten the rotor to the wheel hub. After stripping three of them and break an extractor, I'm looking for an easier way. Any help is appreciated.

I agree. Drill it out and replace a new one when install the rotor back.

Leave them out, the wheel will hold the rotor in place just fine

I broke my inpact screwdriver on those screws. Then I took the ball part of a ballpeen to them. One good wack and they came out with a hand screwdriver.

I used a screwdriver and a set of pliers to get it out. Just put the screwdriver into the screw and then got the torque I needed by turning the screwdriver with the pliers. Easy as pie.
