Well, make sure it's on 'reverse' then smack the shit out of them, they should turn a bit and then the whole rotor should come loose with screws removed.

Thoose impact drivers work well ... and you put the bit holder on an Electric or Air Impact Gun ... BLAM !!! its off even faster

What you can also do is to grab a nail set and hold it on the screw (NOT over the philps head "hole" but beside it ...and hit the nail set with the hammer ...this "Shock" on the head of the screw often helps loosen the and allows it to back out

IF that does not work then carefully drill out the philps head (just drill out the head) ...once the head is gone, and the rotor removed, you can twist out what is feft of the philps screw with a pair of vise grips
