Use the dremel and a cut off disk and cut a line on the surface of the screw head. Use a flat blade screw driver to back it out.

If that method fails and if the screw is in something sort of thick (don't have a axial so I can't tell). Drill the bolt head with a 1/8 bit removing the head from the threads. Remove the trans then use vice grips to remove the threaded portion.
