    Is there enough at the back to get a hefty vice-grip pliers on it?

    The trick to getting those out is HEAT.  Lots of heat .  The HEAT and QUENCH techniques.  Don’t even try without heat;  if you do get the screw to move it might damage the threads.

    In your situation…..if the heat and vice-grips is not the answer….then you have to drill it out.  I might be looking for another clamp if it’s a common motor.
