How do I remove stripped screws?

OK, I see that by 'stripped' you mean that you've ruined the head, probably by using the wrong type or size of screwdriver.  'Stripped' in my book usually refers to stripping off the threads, but others may use the word differently.

In any case, you should easily be able to drill off the screw head because there's a nice deep hole in the head to guide the drill bit.  If you choose a drill bit with a diameter similar to the shank of the screw, the screwhead will come off when you've drilled a few mm into it, and then you should be able to take the assembly apart.
