After years of successfully avoiding the need to remove a rounded out bolt, the time has come. So before attempting to drill it out, I thought I would risk ridicule and humiliation by asking a few simple questions.

First, the scenario. I am replacing the hardware on the real hatch of my 84 944 (the pins, screws, rubber seats etc.) as the former parts were no longer adjustable due to corrosion etc. Anyway, the rubber seats that attach to the rear hatch are held in place by two 'euro' head screws - the head takes a screw driver (or ratchet head) that has the outline like axle splines - like a cheesehead bolt only with more teeth or splines in the center. I rounded one of those out and now cannot remove it using normal means.

So, to remove it (I already have the replacement), do I simply take a drill with a drill bit of approximately the same size as the rounded out portion of the screw head, put her in reverse and drill away? Do I need a special kind of drill bit?

Comments much appreciated!
