Unfortunately this is the current state of 1 screw

Yep, been there, done that.  Fortunately a nice new sharp drill bit of 4 or 5mm will sit in the middle of the dimple and let you drill the top off, as Brock says.  These things are so tight (it's a shouldered screw that is torqued into the head) that I'm not sure even JB Weld is up to the job, but by all means try it.  If you haven't used JB Weld before you won't regret having it in your armoury. It's not cheap for small tubes.  Available at Jaycar in QLD.
As Brock says, the toolkit screw driver is JIS, but you'd need some way of holding it (vice grips, anyone?) because this screw is one tough mother.
When you're done butchering the location, you'll probably need a new nylon tube thingy.  I botched together the damaged one while I waited for the replacement to arrive.

You can still buy JIS screwdrivers (supposedly JIS anyhow) from ebay, Amazon etc but you'll usually pay a ridiculous price.

Something like this one might work: https://tinyurl.com/y4o7ydzd  :think1

I just ordered a set of JIS screw drivers:-

Am impact screwdriver may still free that one up. If you destroy it I have some spares as well as the plastic piece from the bike I am parting. One of those screws from the bike I am parting out had a normal slot cut into it but first you have to get that one out.

WizFizzle:
Taking your advice onboard I got some JB weld.
Fingers crossed if I set a driver into it it will be enough to set her free. I'm looking at jumping into bolt masters and replacing my brake reservoir screws and these air intake screws with stainless so they will hold up a bit better.

West Aussie Glen:
Remember it is a shouldered screw.
