    No chance of attacking it from the other end.?., ...
    loop a bit of wire under the head & pull......
    superglue a rod to it&pull -
    just a few,as no idea what's attached to what&??.

    Would assume,if it's still spinning.that part of the thread has become rounded,instead of 'angled',which is why I suggested to attack from the other side..by pushing screw to part re-cut thread to get it to shift,then maybe a slightly larger screw/but only just - to r.cut thread.

    The only other suggestion I could make,is to change the angle of it's screwing rotation -
    see if you can get a very thin bladed screwdriver,onto one side/to create pressure,as your unscewing it.mk.
