Ideas needed - screw removal

My Moonlite focuser kit arrived today ready to install on the Meade SN10 I recently acquired. I was all ready to make the change tonight but came upon a snag - the button head cap screws holding the corrector cell in place are either full of paint or are rounded off so the allen key cannot take hold. The same screws on the mirror cell are ok so I'm confident the allen key size is correct (3/32").

So the question is - what is the best way to remove these screws? I'm assuming I'll be replacing them with new ones.

Help greatly appreciated.
