Two rounded and stripped pentalobes

Hi you all, I have a question. I went ahead and went to do a screen replacement for myself. The problem begun with the pentalobes, i have an ifixit p2 screwdriver, and both of the screws i rounded off and now they are stuck in there. I do have access to the insides, as I went ahead and ripped the screen threads (still somehow working and all, writing from the screen rn) and went ahead thinking I could just get these out with my tweezers and buy different pentalobes to use, but once I had the screen off, i realised the screws wouldn’t get out. Any ideas?

I have a late 2016 (A1707) MacBook Pro that has a broken screen I bought a new screen and began disassembly. At step 23, remove antenna screws, 16 x P2, I got 9 out, then the tenth one refused and stripped my P2 bit I had a spare from experience. But it stripped as soon as I tried it now I have a rounded screw in the antenna and can’t get it out putting it back together and using an external monitor for now

I think about the only thing you can do is drill them out. You might be able to superglue a pentalobe screwdriver onto the ends and see if they will turn. I might suggest getting a chap pentablobe screwdriver online if you go this route. Only other thing I can think of is using vice grips to see if you can twist them out.
