Sometimes it's enough to hammer a cross head in there and turn until you get enough of the screw head to put some pump pliers on. If you do cut it with the Dremel disc remember to wear safety squints.

Worst case, use a drill to remove the heads, cut the remaining screw out and dowel.

Borrowing someone's chisel would surely be more effective.

Of course, who in their right mind would use their own chisel to do that!

Funny how you learn to avoid those situations over time, it's rare I end up with a screw head that gone, let alone 2.

What do you use to get screws out if the heads are snapped off?
