Jeff,
 
Use a Dremel tool and a cut-off disk to cut the screwdriver notch a bit  
deeper and to clean it up. also, a little Liquid Wrench applied from underneath  
should sink into the threads in an hour or so and then you should be able to  
remove the screw. It is always important to have the proper size screwdriver  
blade so that you don't bugger up the screw head.
 
Good luck,
 
Frank
