Default What to do when I strip rotor retaining screw

Judging from the resistance I'm getting, I'm betting I'll strip this little f*cker. Any advice to avoid said disaster or what to do after I strip it (besides curse like a drunken sailor)? Head is coming off for a head gasket replacement.

Tap it with a hammer. Spray BP Blaster/Liquid Wrench/etc on it. Could also carefully heat it up with a torch as it sounds like its been Loctited in there.

Since it is a delicate piece, I wouldn't use anything larger than a 5 lb sledge. PB Bplaster is your friend, use it in copiuous quantities.
