Front License plate mcss Did anyone elses screws on the license plate come stripped ???
I can't get my plate off because the screws look like there stripped because its a perfect circle. I don't know if theres a special way to get the screws off or if i'm going to have to drill them out.

I am not sure if you have round head or hex head screws. An old tried and tested method it to clamp on vice grips - aka locking pliers - to the head of the license plate screw. Then pull on the head as you turn it out, it may get your screw to engage and back out.
No, no problems with stripped screws. Mine came out fine...but Martin's suggestions should work. You can also just use a philips to turn the screw and a flat screwdriver or other blade to get behind the screw and provide some outward pressure.
I've since removed the bracket in its entirety...drilled out the rivets myself.
