removing old damaged hinge screws

[PxuLL]

Hi there people, recently my door has fell off its hinge and the three screws have no heads and the screws are stuck into the wood. This picture may explain the situation a little better:

I have tried to use pliers to remove them but they are too deep and with no head it seems impossible. I do not have a screw extractor at home neither.

Any help would be wonderful!

Thanks!

Either drill 'em, cut a slot with something like a Dremel disc for a screwdriver, or just drill and countersink new holes in the hinge.

Buy new hinges with a different arrangement of screw holes. The you can leave the old screws in place.

Take the old hinge with you to get a, the same size and b, to ensure the holes do NOT match

Do you think I can use a small drill bit to drill into it?

Try a small bit and then work up to larger sizes.

Fill the hole with headless match or cocktail sticks then screw into that.

You can put a drop of glue on the sticks too if you prefer.
