Guys, You're overthinking this issue. In most cases a small screw can be removed by tapping the head counterclockwise with a hammer and sharp punch. Pre lube with penetrating oil if you want. The best replacement for this screw is a button head screw available at hardware stores. Select a screw that is longer than needed and cut the length until it is flush with the frame when tightened down. This will give you a couple more threads screwed into the frame.
