Heating the screw with a soldering iron will help to free it, if you can

No. Heating the screw will make it expand, which will make it harder
to extract.
Sears has screw extractors. Get the kind for screws that cannot be
drilled - the one that fits over the head of the screw and has
left-handed protrusions inside which grip the screw.
Go easy or you will snap the screw off. You should soak the threads in
anti-seize liquid like WD-40 overnight to help ease the unscrewing.
