Using a very thin, titanium drill bit, drill into the center of the
screw, then slowly retract... Insert a small drywall screw into the nely

Alternatively, you can try destroying the shell with needle nose pliers.
Finally, a Reciprocating Saw will gladly remove the bracket from it's
neighboring router/rack :-)
