I am in the process of restoring my rear brakes. New calipers, new rotors. The rotors and calipers are shot and new ones are on the way. I'm trying to get the old rotors off and I've discovered a rotor attachment screw (one of two) on each rotor is stripped.

One of these on each rotor and the inside pad adjustment screw is stripped on both calipers.

Since I am ditching the rotors, can I just bore out the head of the screw, take the rotor off and then either wrench the screw out by the exposed shaft of the screw or, if all else fails, tap it out? I'm probably forgetting something but it seems like a plan...

Advice?

Yes, that method works fine but before you try to remove from the hub, heat the remains of the screw, red hot and while it's cooling, touch an old wax candle or use some penetrating oil. the heat will help to break the bond and the oil or wax will help it unscrew.
