You could use an extractor. I ended up to round an inbus (allen) screw on the brake rotor and was planing to extract it but it worked with a torx bit (hammered into the hex slot).
Anyway for some heavy duty screws that broke, i used an extractor. easy and sure not to damage threads (but it does not work for small screws like M3, or M4.. an M6 is doable)
Another way is to hit the screw head with a small ball-pane hammer. With skill the squidged-out drive flanges on the screw can be hammered back down. Next one gets the bit from the impact screwdriver. Hammer the bit into the screw head and a perfect drive coupling will result. Apply penetrating fluid and have a cup of tea. Now when the impact driver is used the screw should come out. Good luck!
just a little heat.. (Takes a flamethrower to it). There we go, no more screw issues, including no more car LOLOL. But in reality thanks for the video :) now i have no more stuck rotors :D
If you have a mig welder just keep hitting the head of the screw with the mig and build up some weld, put a pair of vice grips on the build-up and back out the screw. Be careful not to weld the face of the screw to the rotor face or your SCREWED.

just for future reference jackass those screws are only there for the assembly line and you can leave them out. Sorry to bust your bubble but it dont fucking matter how you get them out.
@HunterCO1 Wow easy bro, relax, chill. no need for such abusive words... the guy only trying to give you an idea of a method that works, his method shows more than just how to get the screws out but it also shows how to not damage the thread.
the rotors fucked boss, all the holes have got cracks along em, well some of em do, did u drill em urself or they come factory like that?

Clean the rotors with brake cleaners just for precaution if you use any lubricant! Don't wanna contaminate the pads
