I had a hell of a time getting the screws out ! i tried heating them up with a micro torch to free the locktite , i could not get enough torque on them with the allen key and ended up striping the heads. so i finally had had to to cut slots in the screw heads using a dremel with a cutting wheel then i could get a flathead screwdriver on them and they came right out .. But by cutting these slots in the screws i cut up my mount a bit too ,, but oh well i don't want that big heavy ugly mount anyway .. Then i went to home hardware and picked up some nice screws to fill the holes .

Thanks! I will try to drill those suckers out. If not, will try your method.

Cheers!!!
 
Ok, done. What I did is drilled out about 3 mm deep hole, sprayed with Gunzilla :), took torx bit and wacked it in with the hammer. They came off :) Now I have to find a nice set of black screws to cover the wholes.
