You can try to drill it out clean and get a bigger screw. If you can get in behind it just get a nut and bolt on it-- Probably use a big thick washer too. If you can get a thin piece of rubber under the washer on the back, do it, you'll save the paint so it doesn't wear/rust over time.

Just some ideas from a guy who isn't exactly sure what you're up against :)
