As stupid as this sounds did you try pulling the screws out?

Yea, if the threads themselves are stipped, they should come out very easy. Or do you mean that the screw head is stripped?

yeah the screws in my headleads were stripped and i came up with an easy solution. I got some pliers (needle nose in this case) and just slowly turned the screws until they came out. It took about 15 minutes for each screw but they came out. eventually.

Drill the heads off all the bolts. then remove the speaker. Once the speaker is out you should be able to grb the threads of the screw's with a set of pliers. Do this buy going through the speaker hole so you grab the long bottom side of the screw.

Put a cut-off wheel on your dremel and cut a groove into the head of the screw. Then just unscrew it w/ a flathead.

just get a drill bit thats the same size as the screw shaft and drill in, then put the drill in reverse and the whole thing should come out. worked for me.

Pliers first is what I try, then get the screw stripper from Sears, they work well, if not do the cut off wheel, or drill through it, thats what i'm resorting to for the spoiler screws.
