You could very carefully & accepting the risks use a drill to drill away & remove the damaged screw head.
Remove the PCB & then if your lucky use a pair of snipps on the shaft of the screw thats left to see if you can unscrew it.

I don't know what you have available to you in your area, but here is an actual screw extractor kit.

Hmm.. do you have one? Looking at the reviews, it doesn't sound very promising..
