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?

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.
impact driver works but u gotta be carful u dont break the bit on the driver another way is to take a center bunch or a small chizel with a narrow point and tap the screw out ive done it a few times and it works
