not really
no harm in trying
if they shear then it'll be drill out time

Did one of mine when I did the bearing- there was nothing left of the shields but a few scraps. Got two screws out with a hammer and punch using the technique referenced in the wiki

And drilled out the third. I'm in no hurry to do the other side until that bearing goes too...

I had to drill mine out and then retap the holes.

4 out of 6 of mine came out by 'shocking ' them with a drill driver. Last 2 I dremelled two edges straight, hammered on a spanner and they turned out.

Best of luck
