drilling as a last resort

Small hammer and a flat punch / big Allan bit / something similar like the end of a 1/4" socket bar. See if you can hammer it a bit more solid again.

Buy and use an impact screwdriver. I use one by default now on any JIS / Phillips head that I haven't recently undone.

An impact driver or drill them. Both have worked for me.

As above for removal

Just a tip when putting your new ones in though - buy decent stainless ones (pence) for a start then use some copper grease on the threads first. Saves you (or next owner) the hassle of it again.

I think I am yet to buy a bike that hasn't needed the m/c screws tapping or drilling out
