Could you find a reverse thread screw and use it like an easy out?

Well, just figured if he was messing with a couple small screws and
pliers
that he probably doesn't have an easy-out.
Or a left-hand drill bit.

Everyone should either buy a set of cheap easy-outs with left hand
twist drills, or look for a Snap-On truck and buy a few left-hand
drills. When you need them, you need them, and it's a lot easier
to find them in your toolbox than in a lot of modern
Agreed..I need to do just that.

I am a little slow. If I go with the left handed drill bit how is that
going to help me get a bite on this thing and remove it please.
Well, often when drilling left-handedly, the force of the bit,
especially if it 'bites' into the body can sometimes start backing
out the thing all on its own.
I'd suggest cutting a groove in it with a Dremel tool for the screwdriver if
you can get in there with one.

If the bit starts to make it all the way through, you can just switch
to a bigger bit. Eventually anything will come out with PB blaster
and backwards drill bits, but if it doesn't just drill bigger than
the hole and install a helicoil

Install a helicoil in a plastic radiator tank? I think that's asking for
trouble.
