 Consider Engineer PZ-55 or PZ-58 screw extractor pliers, available on Amazon.  Not quite the the same as the El Brutus, but perhaps enough.  They don't work on countersink screws, though.
 
 Might put some penetrating oil on the screws now and let it soak for days/weeks beforehand.
 
 Good luck!

 I bought a set of these after they were recommended here.  I will let everyone know how they do. Thanks
