If you cant get a vice grip on them, use a drill bit that is just wider than the screws threads, The head will come off the screw once you drill, then remove the other screws and the bowl, the rest of the stripped screw should be exposed and come out with your fingers since there is no pressure on it.

If you have a Dremel, you can grind a small slot in one side of the head and sort of "unscrew it" with it a slotted screwdriver. be careful tho, sparks and metal shavings will go everywhere so wear eye protection and cover up that carb if you have to take it off to get the screws off!!
