Hi, I found one of D2 rear brake guide screws has been worn out, any good suggestions to remove it, if I have to drill out, do I need one for safety? Thanks!
 
If there is any bits of the cross head left, just use an impact driver. As far as I know they are just there to stop the brake disc falling off when you take the wheel and calliper off.
Just replace it with a new one, and don't do it up too tight!;)
It could fractionally affect the balance of the disc and therefore the wheel if you don't put it back.
Best of luck!:)

Besides too much torque, most of those retaining screws are ruined because they are mistaken for Phillips. On the head, you will note 4 markings in addition to the main cross which means that it's a Pozidriv screw.

What type and size fit it?
