I would just put a wrench on it and hit the wrench with a rubber mallet. Sometimes they are a pain to get out.

Are you talking about the screws holding the rotor to the hub? If so, you can just drill them out. They are not important... when you put the wheel on, the rotor sets into place. The screws are only there to keep the rotors from falling off while the car was on the assembly line.

To be able to remove the rotor you have to take the caliper bracket off, the two large bolts that hold it to the knuckle from the inside. They can be removed either with the caliper in place or not.
