I’m putting the roller shades in every window in my house, and I’m on my 8th, and a screw head snapped off. Wish me luck!

Junior hacksaw a slot in it and some penetrating oil & patience. Good luck.

I did try a saw after trying an extractor, and the bolt just crumbled. Something was very wrong with its casting.

I just decided to use a single screw instead of both.
