Re: flex plate problem
left hand drill bit and extractors if you are lucky the drill bit itself will unscrew it. (PB blaster helps too if you soak it). or you can try a chisel and hammer using the chisel to dig in and try to tap it around. Or you can cut a slot and try to use a flat tip screw driver but that rarely works well and can be a PITA to cut the slot.

Re: flex plate problem
if you have a dremel, get a cutoff disc on a snake head and cut it off, once your free, just get a screw extractor
