    I’d probably drill the head of the screw. I’d would use a bit close to, or the same size, as the “threaded” portion of the screws you removed.
    This should allow the head of the screw to come off.
    Once off, you can then remove the light cover.
    After that, you can get to the remaining threaded portion of the screw.
    From there you can grind a flat slot for a screw driver.
    Or use a good set of vice grips. If all else fails. You’ll likely need to resort back to drilling.
    Drill carefully and have good set of taps on hand just in case?

    Have a mig welder? Just tack a sacrificial piece of metal in the center. Let it cool and spin that bad boy out. Obviously cover the surrounding area so you don't mess up the finish.
