John,
I've always drilled out the heads of the screws for any that are stripped
and then once the lens is off, you should be able to grab the remainder of
the screw with a set of needle nose vice grips to back it out.
Use a bit that is the same size as the body of the screw, not the size of
the screw head. The head should come off like a ring on the drill bit, and
run the drill pretty slowly with good even pressure.
