Did you completely round them off? You could try a bigger sized bit and see if that works, take your time!
Drench them in a lubricant such as WD-40, then clench the deteriorated screw with a pliers, and twist the screw. I have done this on several occasions to undo stripped screws from my car.
Need pics to see what might be the proper approach.
Go to your local hardware store and get a screw extractor. The right tool for the right job. And to the WD40 guy, WTF???

all is well guys. i realized that those screws were not the ones that needed to come off to take off the heatsink :stupid:
You animal what did you do!? As necro said I believe the best way to do it would be a screw extractor.
