I think he's talking about the Needle Point Awl to work the screw out.  You dig it into the screw at an edge and tap in the direction that will unscrew the threads.  Shouldn't take much force, and the penetrating oil mentioned is a good idea first.

I once took one of these out by drilling a tiny hole in it with a #70 drill and then tapping a tiny brad into the hole as a handle.  For anything larger, I like reverse drill bits, they tend to remove the screw as you drill.

Bingo!........Pat
