You can either:

1: cut it off with a hacksaw!
2: drill it out with a sharp HSS drill bit and a powerful hand drill
3: buy a set of these - http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/lrg ... l&ts=12301
4: throw the tv outof the window and buy a new one. Only joking!!

I've a set of no.3. They work great and are dead handy to have around.

Good luck with it...let us know how you get on.
