It depends what kind of screw it is!!!.......If it`s a countersunk screw then to be blunt you are fuc*ed, but if it`s a roundhead then chances are you can use a pair of pliers to loosen it, just be careful not to scratch the paintwork 
Hope this helps

If its counter sunk, then Mr E Poxy will help sort that out, other wise just cut a slot in, or hammer a small screwdriver into it
I guess you've tried everything you can think off.but you could try cutting a screwdriver blade sized slot in the head with a Dremel drill if that don't work if its not too tight and its an allen or philips type as a last resort Araldite the relevant tool into the screw and hope you can get enough adhesion to move the screw ,otherwise you're gonna have to drill the screw out!
countersunk?! they are the ones you have to use with allen keys?! cos i tink i have rounded the one on my velocity adjuster on my impy, but not too much. bit scared 2 round it more tho. what dya tink?

Ok since I am the "Expert" in screw removal there are a few things you can do EXCEPT what them guys above are recommending!
1) Make sure your Allen Key isn't worn. Major cause of rounded allen screws.
2) Get an e-z out from the local Automotive Shop that fits that allen tight so a tap of the hammer will seat it. That will do the trick.
3) If all else fails come to Suffolk and pay me some beer and I will make sure it comes out without damaging the Marker!
