Off topic:
Take a small drill and drill off the head of the screw, once there is no head, there is no pressure on the thread, you should then be able to wind it out by hand. If not, cut a small slot in the top of the screw and use a small instrument screwdriver to extract the screw.

I've done this more times than I can remember on everything from engines to watches.
