Those are security screws, drill them out and replace the ignition switch assy.

If you take a hammer and a punch with a sharp point on it, you can hit the bolt head right near the outermost edge several times and unscrew it. Basically you are using the punch like a screwdriver of sorts. You will need to bear in mind the lefty-loosey/righty-tighty rule though. The screws are normally not THAT tight, just having no place for a conventional tool increases the difficulty of removing them.

You tried getting them out with a punch, or you tried drilling them out?

It doesn't really take any knowledge to use a drill, just common sense :scratch:

Well you're going to have to either get a drill, or try harder with the punch/hammer.
