if you stripped the slot, try a socket (it the perimeter is hexed) or use vise grips. another attempt is to use an eletrical screwdriver with a lot of torque...push down into the screw head, and let it rip! but spray some silicone lubricant, wd40 or special rust pentrants first to make your job easier.

Use a wratchet with a 10mm socket and turn in counter clockwise. It look less than 5 minutes to remove both.

My tips were hard too. What i did was take a pair of pliars and grab the area where the screw is in. The area where there is a strip of metal with a square hole cut out. You take that and bend it down as much you can and pull the f*cker out. Or wd40 the hell out of it and turn left and right or clockwise until it comes off. The turning didnt work for me but it worked for my friend. Try my way first, its the quickest and most hassle free.
