I had pretty much the same issue. all of the screw were coming out fine. I get to the shield plate and theyre wayyyy over torqued (too much lock tite?) and (I was being INCREDIBLY careful, and Im pretty good at this kinda stuff) within 1 or 2 turns the screws started to strip. no way to get them out. So Im trying to understand the solutions you guys proposed here. You cut off the tabs? what holds the shield plate in?
