Or use a Dremel tool and cutting wheel or a fine file to cut a grove across the screw shaft. Then use a sharp flathead screwdriver to back it out.

Hey! I have a blog now: http://mancave-stereo.blogspot.com or "like" us at https://www.facebook.com/mancave.stereo
thats a great idea! Yes the head of the screw is clean off. GRRR!!
Dont have a dremel tool, but called wattgate. I just sent it to them and they are going to get the screw out for me. Thanks everyone for your answers.
A word of caution, when you get back the receptacle.
From the looks of your picture, it looks like you twisted off the head of the 6/32 trim screw that would indicate the screw was too long and bottomed out in the tapped 6/32 hub of the recept.
Make sure, when you get the duplex receptacle back, the 6/32 trim you use is not too long.

Will do. Thanks!
