So if you leave the stub of bolt there for the replacement disc, you’ll be lined up still. The screw is basically useless anyway!
And a lot of the time once the pressure is off it, it will turn right out by hand or with a channel lock type wrench.
I drilled one out with a big bit, and such was the case once it was done.
