Put some epoxy on the screw head, then put the screwdriver there as well. Let it harden... THen you might be able to get the screw out.

Another thing to try is to carefully drill the head of the screw out. When you get the head of the screw drilled out remove the screen. There should then be enough room to clamp a vice grips on the nub of the screw and turn it out.
