thinking about it, I would try this first...russell_ram said:
Just drill it down to the depth of the hub flange with increasing diameter discs until the disc is free. Grind off anything thats left sticking out until flush with hub face. Fit new disc (no screw required), fit wheel. Job done.
That screw serves no purpose other than to keep the hub/disc wheel stud hole alignment when you (very rarely) take the wheel off. Makes refitting the wheel on those rare occasions a little more tricky but so what?
Or just leave the little stub sticking out so that you have a handy dowel when fitting new discs.That screw serves no purpose other than to keep the hub/disc wheel stud hole alignment when you (very rarely) take the wheel off.

thinking about it, I would try this first...Hmmm. I agree the screw itself is superficial and although it is annoying lining the holes up without it I agree it doesn't do anything else. However, on that picture it does look like the screw is still proud of the hub face to me (maybe just the picture?) so I'd want to get it out of there before fitting a new disc.
