I actually disagree here.
Ive used the drill method several times, and more often than not, its been a disaster.
My favourite method- which almost always works- is to use a pair of pliers to give extra torque.
You use the screwdriver as normal, putting all the pressure downwards, then use the pliers to unscrew.
Either alone, or with wd40 this has always worked for me.
