I was told the best way to get your door screws out IF you will get new ones when you get the old ones out is to get a dremel and cut the head of a screw, Run a deep, thin line across the head and undo it quickly with a big flathead screw driver. The heat from the dremel helps to clear the thread but you have to be quick

the best way to undo the screws that hold the doors on is weld a nut or bolt to the screw head then undo it with a spanner/socket

Just go to Bunnings and buy an impact driver set! when you turn it to the undo position and hit the end with a hammer they just come un-done (Note: you need to keep the driver twisted in the direction you want to turn the bolt while hitting it with the hammer) they are easy as to use and cheap as to buy probably around $15-$20 Here's a pic of one incase you don't know what I mean cheers Robb.

Use an impact driver I did. Can pick them up (and a hammer if you don't already have one) at any tool store pretty cheap and if your lucky you will be able to use the screws again. Sorry my bad, didn't realise the post kept going and you'd already got them off
