Hey everybody. So I had to drill out the rotor screws while replacing the old one because they were frozen and an impact driver didn't work. So I got the rotor and the screw head off but the body is still locked inside the screws. Now I know these things aren't needed, a lot of the reason they're there is because of the manufacturing. Since I don't need these little fucks could I just leave the bodies in and shave the edges down so it's just flat and the rotor can fit right on?

Technically, yes you could just make them flush and forget about it.
I would at least try to get them out first. If all else fails you could also drill and re-tap it.
Drilling and re-tapping would be super easy because of the location
And even if you fuck up and it doesn't work it's not problematic

You could take this opportunity to replace the hub/wheel bearing and save yourself the hassle later on. Judging by the corrosion your car looks pretty old and worn and wheel bearings are something that do go bad

Good call I'll probably do that while I'm at it
