CRC/wd-40 let it soak in try the screwdriver hammer thing if not use an impact screwdriver (they arn't very dear)
Drilling and an "easy out" would be the absolute last resort

They are basically just a screwdriver that spins when you hit it with a hammer, it won't drill into the screw

Rear Rotor and Pads Change

Here's how I got mine off. Had the same problem as you. Didn't have an impact driver but used one of those adjustable gipper pliers with a large screwdriver.

All the best with it,

Hit it with a the hammer to shock it first, then use a centre punch in the dirrection that it unscrews, it will break the seal always works for me.

Cheers Mick.
