Removing Rounded Screws On Brake Discs

Anyone got any advice? Whoever fitted the last discs/pads (last owner) had knackered the passenger side screws to the disc. And when you try and turn them, they begin to round off even more. They're fairly tight aswell.

I think i'm going to have to drill them out :(

Anyone got any tips?
 
Have you tried doing it while its hot? Also soak it with WD40 (not while it too hot though! :p )
 
Not when hot, nothing to heat it up with, and the car isn't driveable at the moment to get any heat into them :lol:

The screws are completely fooked imo, think i'll have to just drill them out :lol: Tried drilling one last night at 1am. Neighbours werent too happy and the drill died :lol:

Annoying, as the other side went on fine. (When i took up enough courage to just smack my old brake disc with a rubber mallet :lol:)
