I don't know where else to get them, (I got mine from one of the tool trucks full of overpriced shiny shiny) but left-handed drill bits have saved my cookies many times. Usually, before you get very far into the stud, it loosens and backs right out.
Whoever invented these should get the Nobel Peace Prize, in my opinion.
Also, easy-outs are more like easy-snaps in my experience. The short fat extractors with the shoulder on them are much better. They also came from one off the tool trucks of temptation, but there might be a better/cheaper source.
You can run for years with none of those screws - the lug bolts hold the rotor secure. The little screws are just to keep the holes aligned when the wheel is off. The locating pin helps a lot getting the tire on when it's dark and raining and you're dressed up for a party that you're now late for. Not that that has ever happened, or anything.
