Help disassembling h100i v2 (rounded screws)

[LPagote]

So guys, I'm new here but I'm in need of some help. Lately I've been noticing that my i5 3570 @ 4Ghz (no BCLK just multiplier) was running really hot, idling at 65C and on full load reaching 105C, while the liquid temps were around 50C to 60C, and I thought l, well it's a 7 years old cpu, so I delided it and reapplied the thermal compound, that's all ok till now, then I decided to check my h100i v2, since it's second hand, so to my surprise all the screws that secure the cold plate in place are rounded up, and as most of you may know, they are pretty tight in there, so my question is, how can I remove those without damaging the cold plate? I tried a bigger number screw driver, but had no success. If I drill them out how am I gonna replace them?

 

Thanks.

If you can cut a groove into the heads of the screws, you can use a flat headed screwdriver to get them out.

I thought about that, but what could I use to do this, since the screw is sunk in... For now I'm thinking about drilling them out...
