> use a small torch to heat up the screw. then just use the impact driver on it again. it will come out. unless of course you didnt already mess up the head of the screw trying to drill it out. then you just have to finish drilling it out lol

^This. Heat it until it is cherry red then let it cool for just a few seconds (so you don’t strip the head). Then make sure you have the correct size phillips head and impact it off. Or you can heat it up cherry red then drill it. Heating it and letting it cool slowly will soften the metal and make it easier to drill. But make sure to use cutting oil when drilling, and drill slowly so you don’t work harden it.
