    screw extractor bits in the drill that fez suggested.

    or ...... Also if you can get into the other side drilling a normal drill bit from that side might extract it a bit.

    or ........ Might change the paint, but heat the bolt a bit too helps

    or ......... Dremal a flat slot into the screw head and then use a flat head screw driver.

    I'd drill the bolt out as a last option
