If you don't live in a house with a money tree growing at the bottom of the garden, try filling the hole in the screw with some superglue or loctite, then getting an allen key and putting it into the hole and waiting for it to dry then unscrewing it

does the bolt head stick out a little from the frame? if so get a hacksaw blade, saw a line across the bolt head (not all the way thru), then use a screw driver to remove the bolt
and what do you do about finding another screw without a dirty big score in it
and yes its to do with the MARQ

Loctite an old allen key into the hole, then just turn.
If araldite and loctite aren't doing the business, a last ditch attempt is to use solder. Just put the solder in the hole, touch it with a hot iron and hold it there while you push in any screwdriver that fits, remove the iron and the solder will go cold, leaving the imprint of the driver without sticking to it.
Be careful of the finish though, this is tried and tested by me on markers, mobiles, tv chassis's etc...need to have a steady hand.
