You don't have much choice. If a phillips screwdriver fits in tight, force it as much as it takes to loosen the screws. If that fails then try some speedouts. That should work.

If you do too much damage to the head of the screw you can also try a couple other things. First, use a die-grinder / cut off wheel and just cut a straight slot in the screw and try a flat bladed screwdriver. Second, drill the screw out and install a larger screw when replacing the lamp.
