Default Screw you!!!! HELP!

ok so i just ordered a new inside passenger door handle, reason being, my memphis audio's busted and i was going to replace them, however, the 10mm screw at the bottom of the door handle WONT COME OUT D*mn thing just turns and turns and turns to no avail, so i proceeded to YANK on the door handle and it finally broke(the reason a new one is on its way)

So exactly how do i go about getting this d*mn screw out if all it wants t do is turn turn turn? i have seriously sat there and turned for 15mins thinking it was going to slide out at some point,any help is appreciated

ok im back, lol pic one is the vice grip, failed, just turns and turns, and when trying to pull it won't budge


pic 2 is what is holding the screw in place


i have tried several things to no avail , looks like i may have to make a trip to the stealership(would really like to avoid) so anyone have any suggestion as to how to remove this screw, it will turn left, right endlessly and will not move an inch back or forth(has a little play, but other than that it just spins) any help is appreciated

Ok what you need to do is get some pressure on it and then try backign it out, slide a flat head under it and pry at it while backing it out with an electric drill. The threads are stripped.
