Default stripped brake rotor retainer screw, what should i do ?

i was going to change my front brake pads and rotors today, but ended up stripping the brake rotor retainer screw so now i cant get the rotor out, i didnt know the screw was that soft, any suggestion on what i can do to get screw out ?

i tried using a screw extractor but it ended up broke in half and part of it is still lodge inside the screw

i havent attempt the other side yet in fear or stripping that side too, so whats the best method to get these screws out without stripping it ?

Get a high power drill, and a heavy duty metal drill bit. Blast that B!@#* out and dont worry about replacing it.

honestly thats what i did. I was going to replace it but they only really help with vibration or some shit and in my opinion there's still 4 lug nuts that are held on with 80-100 lbs of force.
