Default Taking out my plate.

ok so i started the job of taking my fuel plate out last night and after drilling out the allen head bolt and taking the other two 8mm bolts out i was down to the flat head bolt.... well to make a long story short i tried for about half an hour and couldn't even budge the stupid thing and all i did was actually twist hard enough on the screw driver it made the flat head hole bigger and almost snapped my screw driver.... has any1 else come into this problem and how did you get it out?

and i put a hole in my injector line that runs from my fuel filter anyone know how much those might be?

hit the screw with a flat punch it should push the metal back into a workable situation at the same time should shock it to loose the torque on the fastener
