if its in the grip frame you can open the other side and unscrew it using pliers if you have enough room with the barrery etc taken out.
I think you can do it with a drill like that but it runs the risk of making the problem worse.

EZ-outs/stud removers, available from hardware stores. Like a comedy Dr Evil burrowing torpedo but in miniature...
They have a 'reverse' thread biting area, and fit in a drill or with pliers or whatever and bite into the screw to remove it
I bought a set of 5 of various sizes for £8 from my local hardware shop. Fork 'andles, etc, etc

Easy outs are great...Halfords do a nice set for a tenner, if not...get a drill bit that slightly wider than the hole in teh head, and drill it out...teh head will pop off.
Did that on my dm4, you just have to be careful.

i know it takes a while but glue an allen key in it and leave it to set over night and it sets hard in the screw just twisit it out worked for me
similar to mark, put in allen key and heat it at the tip so it expands a bit, then remove hopefully
There have been several methods mentioned on here. The best method i use, is to get a sharp centre punch and use it to drive the screw anticlockwise with the point of the centre punch. Just before you start this give the screw a sharp tap on the top, this helps to dislodge the thread.
If you can't move it, send it to me, i'll get it out.
