Is my only recourse 
drilling out the screws?  


No.
 
1st choice, Craftsman screw  extractors.
 
2nd choice, my regular  method, and cheaper if you will replace the screws 
anyway, is to use a high  speed grinder and a cutting wheel to cut a slot in 
the 
head that you can  get a screwdriver into. The heat from the grinder also 
helps loosen the tight  screw threads.
