Make your way trough the head as slow as possible. Stop often and check how much metal there is left, you don't want to drill the surroundings. When you're almost trough the head will snap off, you can do it without touching anything else but the screw head.
risky.... but there was someone else who told me this also when speaking with them in person.

Your suggestion worked. Stopping often also because i didn't want to drill through the screen. I removed two or three screws this way. They were beyond repair.
Thank you
