Get some left-handed drill bits, 90% of the time the whole fastener backs itself right out while drilling

Where have you guys found replacement screws?

Mazda has them and NAPA has them in a blister pack

i would try just heating them and using the impact driver first.

mine were really hard to get out once but i did the same thing.

pb then wiped it off then heat then impact driver.

worked wonders.

Wouldn't the screw hole be lonely?

why dont you ask it?

I don't know what all the worry is about. That screw's not even necessary. The brake rotor's not going anywhere when it's got four or five torqued lug nuts holding it on. Just drill that sucker out, remove the threaded shaft and don't even worry about finding replacement screws.
