i have a replacementEverything depends on whether you have a replacement screw or not. Try the vice grips as suggested, if that fails, fill up the stripped portion with a Locktite-type glue, place the original key in the socket and wait until it sets, then try unscrewing it. If all else fails, drill through the screw.
To make things easier for yourself, you could use WD-40 on the screw to attempt penetrating the threads.
