1. use a hacksaw or dremel to cut a slot in the top for a screwdriver to fit in. then let the bolt hole soak in liquid wrench or something of that type for several hours, then hope it comes out without damaging the threads.

2. Drill out the center of the bolt and use an EZ-out to remove it. success on small bolts like that isn't high though.

2. drill the thing out, then re-tap the hole for a slightly larger bolt.

: So I was replacing a sparkplug, one of the sparkplugs closest to the front of the car, and the screw that holds everything in was rusted and bent, so I ordered a new one. I waited a while to get it, but I got it. So, today, as I was screwing it in, the top twisted right off! The screw was not already in place, but plyers aren't getting the sucker out. Any suggestions? How do I get out a screw like this? Please help! Thanks.
