As long as they are not hardened screws, I usually will drill the head off using a bit just slightly bigger than the screw shaft. Drill just deep enough to get the head to fall off. After you remove the cover, the remaining portion of the screw sticks out, leaving a great place to grab it with Vice-Grips.
