If you haven't got the screw out, and don't have an impact driver (handy tool those!), try the setup I needed when changing the rears a while ago.

exactly same setup we use on our cars, except we use a flathead on the stripped bolts and drive it into the bolt with a hammer, then one person pushes the screwdriver towards the car and the other twists the multi grips.
