drill the heads off, remove the TPS and use vise grips to take the screws out.

Original screws before they get messed up are not #2 Phillips. #2 Pozidrive is correct size. Of course there is the slight grip of the threadlocker juice Ford put on. Go to Lowes and they have new bolts with allen head.
