i usually bang a socket that is about the size of the face to kind of "break it loose" and make it easier to remove along with this method. another tip would be to use heat and then cooling it off with a spray bottle to also promote breaking down of corrosion on the threads. glad you were able to remove that stubborn screw. good luck on the rest!
We used to call those things "Easy outs". I tried one of those about 60 years ago, it broke off in the screw. Never used one since, because when they break off they are seriously hard and you won't get the broken bit out of the hole which stops you going in with a bigger drill. The simple way in the scenario that you had is to drill the countersink out. If this is a brake disc on a hub you don't need these screws anyway because the wheel bolts will hold the disc in place. Many cars don't have these screws from new anyway.

Thanks mate bless you! Good idea, I still have allot to learn, going to be a fun ride
Hit the outer edge of the countersunk screw with a centre punch in an anticlockwise direction. It'll jarr the bolt free.
