if the hole where the screwdriver grips is square now, try using an allen wrench, or a square screw driver. square ones are rare but the work on lots of stuff. -_-

That is if you can get them out again. You actually can if you try hard enough, I've got 4 or 5 out of my 2700 that I had to drill. What I did was find the ones where there was a tinyI do recommend replacing screws too. I don't know what kind they will be because that probably changes from soaker to soaker. I would recommend bringing one to the store to compare.

Alright i know this topic has most likley been dead for some time, but i would like to know what size drill bit you should use to remove the screws. I know it varies form rifle to rifle but iam not sure on if iam supposed to destroy the threads the screws fit into and buy a slightly larger screw -or- use a bit small enough to get the screw out but not damage the threads so you can use the same size screw the next time around.
P.S. iam trying to remove the rusted screws on a Super Charger 600 to replace/mod a broken pump or check valve.

I use one of these to remove stripped screws provided I can get into the screw hole with it. Otherwise, I just drill off the screw head with a drill bit slightly larger than the diameter of the screw threads.
Those square head screws are called Robinson in Canada. They're great if you use a drill or power screw driver to drive them. They don't strip like Philips (plus) or wobble all over the place like slot heads (minus).
