drill the heads off to allow you to remove the plate.
Then you could undo the stumps whats left with a pair of pliers.
Would need new fixings from halfrods too
Alternatively chuckem and order a new set
www.fancyplates.com
(legal or otherwise) and stick the new ones one , much neater

If you have got a dremel, you can cut a notch in the head and use a flat head screwdriver to remove the screw.

I've had it happen to me many a time, mole grips are normally what save me!
