the screws are not needed for proper function. the wheel/rim holds the rotor on, so the screws are redundant. you can drill them out and leave em off.

Ya you dont need the screws, arent the screws only for getting the rotors off. And after you get off the rotors it just goes on there and then putting the tire back on and tighten it compresses the rotor back on.
