You could try drilling them of grinding the heads of the screws off, then getting new screws from your dealer cheap... An ez out might work... If you grind a slit in the head you might be able to get it out with a flat head screwdriver. If you get one side out you can take the grip off and slip it off...

Theres some ideas...

My suggestion, take a pair of vice grips and clamp on good. Works best if you use the vice grips in a position like a screw driver instead of a wrench and use the ends.

If you can ... cut a slit in the screw and use a Flat Head to take them out .... I've done this MANY times ... seems liek my Yamaha has loctite on EVERY bolt ... Ive stripped many Phillips style and Allen Key styles .

i ususally take the phillips head & get a hammer & hammer the phillips head into the screw to make new indentions & then twist once you have a good seat for the phillips end

same here, but I use 'em like a wrench instead. Seems to bite better.
