A few tricks for using the impact driver:
1. Before you put the bit into the driver, put the bit into the screw head and give it a good whack to seat it firmly.
2. You've stripped the shoulders on the left side of the screw trying to loosen it, but the right side is probably ok. so set the driver to TIGHTEN. Get some movement in there, let the PB Blaster soak in a little deeper, reverse the driver and back it out.
Try it out. You can probably salvage it without cutting or drilling. Next time don't even mess around with a screwdriver, just start with the impact driver.
