Bolts in the front rotors (99)

Ok i was workin on em yesterday and now that i had the bolts out from before a brake job took 10 mins instead of half a day. What did some of you guys do to get those 2 screws (factory put in your rotors to keep em in place) out . Heres my list


* Blowtorch - didnt work
* Screw it out - didnt work
* drilling a hole through the middle - didnt work
* impact gun - didnt work (just stripped the head)
* breaking the threads - didnt work
* eventually saying fuck it and took a unibit and drilled the screwhead into nothing - rotors came off.

Figure this will be good for people who get this problem. I know i hated em.
