+1 to impact screwdriver......either that or an air hammer if you have an air compressor
you can get the impact driver at the auto parts store, i believe its less than $20. just make sure you hold it on there tight so it doest walk and beat the shit out of it. its a pain in the ass to get off. i hate those fucking screws, just leave them off when you get them off. they were put in there at the factory during assembly to hold them in place. no other cars have that shit on there, they're not needed.
good luck!

any cheap ass drill, with the correct phillips bit, find the right one for the screws, usually a fatter wider point.
Press into them to make sure you them strip them. They will come out easy as hell.
Done it millions of times, well maybe not millions....hahahaha

Try heating them with a blowtorch if you have one. A buddy of mine took care of a frozen lugnut with his. It came off with amazing ease after that.
