Bracket NOT coming off!! HELP

i took out my head unit, and got one side of the stock bracket out (i need the brackets to secure my aftermarket). the other side is still in there with 2 screws..

well, after stripping them with screwdrivers (manual and power) i dirlled a hole thru them, like i was told to do so by a few people

now...they're just hollow screws, they will NOT come out..and all grip has been lost

how the HELL do i get these out???!

thanks in advance..

drill my man.. drill. it works, it turned into a project in itself, but i eventually got them out. just be thankful you have all but 2 out. use different sized bits and just drill the hell out of them. i lost a bit or 2, but i got them out.

you need to use a drill bit that is exactly the same size as the screw. it will come out. i did it with a 2002, damn screws
