Everything I have seen is talking about using 
vise grips.  Not a bad idea.  But I had
tried to undo various screws with vise grips, and 
have had them slip off a lot.  Try
using a pair if dikes.  I've had a lot of luck as 
the can bit into the head and really
grib.  May or may not work, but I have had very good success with this method.
