It's very short and its threads are usually in fine shape and unrusted. I bet you could get a nail set or other punch to drive it counterclockwise and once it's popped free it would be easy to spin out.
But as I recall I got one that had been stripped out off a junkyard car, by this simple trick: Once all other bolts are out spin the plate itself just a touch counterclockwise. The screw loosened with the plate, then spun out by fingers alone.
It's just a simple metric thread, M8 as I recall, and you could find a flathead screw, or flathead allen head screw, to replace it with, at a good hardware store.
