I've had some luck with a pin-punch (pointy). Hit near the outside of the screw (straight down) to get a nice dimple. Then, take the same punch and hold it at a 45° angle and smack it lefty loosey. A lot of the time, it is just enough to get the screw turning so you can get it the rest of the way out...
