The only way I managed to do it was to hammer a phillips head bit into the screw until it had some grip, then attach a socket wrench to it. And that took many many attempts.

An impact driver is the other way, but I never managed to make that work.

Impact driver and the correct head, that's how I did it.

Or just drill them out, they are only locating screws, once the tension is off the head they should come out by hand.
