-@pydev, Nick, Hardly looks like the head of a screw any more. Does not appear enough material left to cut a slot in it so I recommend you carefully drill the head off using a wee bit bigger metal bit (larger then the threaded O.D. of screw) in a power drill, remove the board and hopefully there will be enough shaft remaining of screw to turn out with small vise grips/pliers. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
