I tried everything I could on one and ended up drilling it out! If it comes to that, be careful of the threads and be sure to get new special screws from SS.

They won't come free with just standard screwdriver effort.  So what have you guys done to get them out?  I've already had Liquid Wrench on them for a few hours.
