If anyone is pulling off their hubs I recommend replacing these pesky screws with NEW ones
One came off ok the other 2 seem to be made of cheese

I'm guessing the only option to get these off now is to drill them out :?

I replaced mine with cross head style screws instead of the torq ones....

Bit late now, You should punch the head of the screw with a flat faced punch before unscrewing them and replace with CSK Allan machine screws.
