Well, you're screwed (heehee). Unless you can use needle nose pliers to twist it out, you are probably going to have to drill. I would try these first:

Depending on how small your screw is, they're work quite well. If it's too small, you'll have to drill a small hole and use a screw extractor:

I've never had any luck with these things. Your hole has to be dead center, and I always break them anyway.

Another thing you might try. If you have a dremel, cut a slot across the top of the screw and using a slot screwdriver to turn it out.

As a last resort, find out what size the screw is, drill right through with the appropriate size for tapping, and re-tap the hole. Depending on your luck, you may have to tap out to a size bigger than original.

Good luck bud...
