There are screw extractors. One is a drill bit and the other is a driver bit that works the opposite of the way the screw went in.

The problem is the size of the screws, i see in some shop these extractors but for a high size screw used in wood.

This trick maybe is usefull for these big screws, for smaill ones no way.

But problem is solved with patience and some drilling, thanks.
