What's the problem? Is it the two screws that hold the rotors onto the hub? If so, use an impact driver:

Spray some penetrating fluid on it and wait. Then use the impact driver.

Need to take the calipers off first and then the rotor (e brake cable on the rear if you have calipers in the rear).

BTW, what car are you working on?

Just drill the little bastards out. You don't really need them anyway.

I don't know if this actually works or not because I haven't tried it, but one idea I've heard is to put the lugnuts (or appropriately threaded open hex nuts) back onto the studs after removing the wheel, then torque them down some (evenly). This should take pressure off the screws, making it easier to get them off. YMMV.

Never thought about ever doing that but it sounds like a good idea.
