Happened to run across an ad for this, which may serve as a suitable alternative to drilling out a stripped screw...

Ok. Update. I wasn't going to share this but since none of you know who I am...
The rear spacers finally arrived from ECS tuning. Re read the instructions on this post on how to use the impact driver correctly (thank you all) and the two screws came out in seconds. Put anti-seize on spacer. Put it in place. I used the longer stainless screws that came with the kit and put the first one in and thought to myself - this is how it should go...
Then I put the second screw on the screw driver and proceeded to put it in...the lug bolt hole above the where the screw goes and the screw dropped into the bottoms of the rotor
Thankfully it only took 10 minutes to get the caliper and rotor off, get the screw out, and readjust the parking break.
But damn, nothing is ever easy

when I rebuilt my calipers I stripped 2, and stopped till I got an impact screwdriver. So worth it.
edit...looks like I am way late on this lol

I bought spacers for the front and back. OEM used up front. Just polished the wheels and the lugs nuts. New set came with new lug nuts. Anyway, stripped the rotor screw trying to get it out. It was 10 pm last night and I figured by 10:15 I would have them on. At 10:15 I was back to square one blaming my kids, wife, and dog.
