Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove a stripped back screw from a figure?

Do you need to keep the screw?
And is it just the head that is striped? |

I use a drill and drill out the center of the screw (slowly) until the head pops off then you take the figure apart and remove the rest of the screw with pliers.

More or less what I was going to suggest. First I would try using a Robertson head instead of a Phillips. It may allow you to get enough grip to back the screw out. |
