Your could cut a slot in the screw head and use a screwdriver. or you could get an easy out.

as running gag said try the slot method

If that dont work got to a hardware store and get a screw extractor its like a drill but with a left hand flute on it you drill a pilot hole into the stripped screw and then turn the extractor into it its pretty simple

If that dont work [X(] youll need to carefully drill the whole thing out and retap it

If it is countersunk ca your allen driver into the screw, let it dry, twist it out. Or if you have one you don't care about you could solder it in instead.
