Once I had that happen on the back of a Toyota truck and I twisted off the heads without actually accomplishing anything. I ended up having to drill through the middle of the screw (a big enough bit to remove as much as you can without grinding out the threads on the car), and then the rest of the outside of the screw just sort of "peels" off. It requires a steady hand, though. I would call this a last resort.
Metal screws are a terrible idea for this...
