    Depending on how broken the screw tops are, you can use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew them. You'll need to apply "additional" pressure. And, make sure you align it as best as you can.

    Alternately, you might be able to get decent grip with square or hex-head screwdrivers, or Allen keys.

    Or epoxy it to a screwdriver you don't want anymore
