Alien fuck yeah
Nuking your buggy from orbit would only work if you had car insurance, as you could then commit fraud and use the extra cash to buy a damn dremel.

1) Use the center punch to tighten up the socket of the screw head. If you can, put the wrench inside the socket, and then take the center punch and lightly tap the head of the screw to close up the socket, which the wrench engages.
2) Forget the putting the wrench in the socket altogether, and use the center punch to back the screw out. Lightly tap the center punch, while it's tip digs into the head of the screw. Go counter clockwise, tapping the punch, and keep adjusting the angle of the center punch, so that it bites into the screw head, yet produces the loosening effect you need. I have used this technique plenty of times, with good results. Take your time and you'll get it.
For button head, or standard socket head cap screws, try a little larger wrench, if you can. Most of the time screws like this need to be drilled out or extracted with an EZ out. Try a left hand drill bit first, as they spin the correct way to loosen the screw, should they grab and grip the head, rather then drill it out completely. Many times a guy can get lucky.

Go to NAPA and buy some Valve Lapping compound. In aviation we use this stuff all the time to get stripped screws out. If the screw has Loctite on it, vibration is the key to getting the Loctite to loosen up. The Craftsman screw extractors do work, but you need cutting oil to keep the bit and screw from getting hot. Low speed on the drill. @ 400-800 rpm should do.

My father is a handy man freak, I came over his house and I was like alright what tools you got lol. Hes like whats the prob, showed him, he said give me 5 minutes. He took a hammer, some Sharp metal picks, Started hitting away, 2 min later the screw was out. Then I found another stripped screw which he couldn't get out, so he takes out the Dremel tool with every single attachment known to man, including a sharp round end to create a slit for a flat head that was like 3 cm in diameter. I was like score. lol
