You don’t want to snap that one off, because it’s a tough place to drill. If you have access to a small, battery powered electric impact gun, and adapt a 3/8″ drive, wide, straight blade driver bit to it, I find that is the best way. Of course, heat it quite hot with a propane or Mapp gas torch first, just below the screw. Even if it burns the paint, nobody is going to see it, in that area, anyway. Pictured is a really tight one that I had. Even with the screw out, I had to press it apart, do to the corrosion build up Frank mentioned.

Long live American manufacturing!
