I have seen some people use heat to get the screw out but I try not to for calipers. Since you are refurbishing the calipers and they are off the car and all the fluid is out then it might be okay. Good luck!
Yep, they are soaking in penetrating fluid and I guess it is time to get some sort of screw extractor set more heavy duty that some ez out bits.

Thanks for the response!
