you need to use an impact driver to remove the those screws. Yes they need to be removed to remove the rotor. here is a write up that will show how/what you need.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Marcucci &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Here is where the biggest problem people has with the brake job is. Most domestic vehicles and other imports use the force of the lug nuts to hold the brake rotor in place. Not Honda- they use phillips-head screws. Two of these hold the rotor to the hub. The problem people have is that you cannot use a standard (#2) screwdriver to get these off. You need a #3 (larger) bit and you will almost always need an "impact driver" to get them off. This is not some expensive tool, it's a $15 or so tool at Sears and most auto parts stores. This tool works like an impact driver when used with a hammer. Insert the #3 bit into the driver, hold the driver/bit FIRMLY in the screw head while turning it counter-clockwise (unscrewing), then give it a helluva good whack with the hammer. The impact forces the driver to "unscrew" (when held in an "unscrew" motion) with an incredible force. This is usually enough to dislodge the baked-in screws. Repeat for the other screw and pull the rotor towards you:
