what worked for me is get a hammer and hit the rotor (did you ever notice rotor is a pallendrome it can be spelt backwards and it's still correct sorry back on topic) not too hard or you'll cause damage but a couple of good hits to the face of the rotor across from the screws. so say your screws are @ 12 and/or 6 o clock your gonna hit 3 and 9 o clock. the rotor will wanna move but it's only option is to push against the screws which will help shake it loose from the hub. after that try to use a screw driver to loosen the screws, mine came out after that. i was also putting on new rotors at that time too so if you're keeping your current rotors-...this may not be the best option!!!

just drill the head off, afterwards you can get pliers on it easy to turn it out.

i had the same problem with mine, i had to use WD40 and ended up hack sawing a line for a flat screw driver. you might try that.
