I would suggest that if you are going to drill it you use a left handed bit.
These are available and you use the drill running backwards slowly. What
should happen is that as soon as the drill bites the metal it grips the screw
and unscrews it, so you don't really and up drilling much at all.
Hope this helps
Dave

Subject: Screwing a VWIC-2MFT-T1 too hard
I just got a brand new Cisco 2801 router and a VWIC-2MFT-T1. I tried to
screw the VWIC into the router, but I screwed it too hard. The screw head
came off from the shaft (but I swear, I wasn't screwing that hard). Now the
shaft is stuck inside the hole and I can't get it out. I tried to use some
oil lube on it, but I could not get it to loosen up. A co-worker suggested
that I try to drill it, but I am worried that the metal pieces will get
inside the router. Any other suggestions? Would this be covered under
warranty?
