The OP really "screwed" up.  Now we are all just "screwing" around with him.

I think I'm running out of screwy jokes so I guess all I want to say is "in on page 6"

i said it before, and i'll say it again, map gas and an angle grinder although it looks like you may have used 50/50 acetone and atf too.

What if we pick the truck up rotate it on the long axis 180°, and shake it loose?

Have you tried a hammer yet, according to Clarkson that fixes everything

that's the best way to get it out, smash it with a hammer

I don't think that would get the screw moving in the right direction

Yes it could.  Just drill an access hole on the outside of the pillar, and "tap" the screw out with a punch.

smart lol

[Pete M]

has anyone yet mentioned simply cutting out the A-pillar and welding in a different one that is missing the screw?  seems pretty straight forward.  cut, cut, weld, weld, done.  

[Jesse J]

but that includes taking the windshield out lol. 7th page here we come

[watchamakalit]

I told you on page 2, take the windshield out.  lol

 

what about dry ice freezing the screw then smash it with a hammer.....

[Pete M]

nah, if you cut the pillar careful enough I bet you could wiggle the sealant free between the glass and a-pillar.  then just slap a bunch of bathroom silicone in there when you're done.
