How do I get the heatsink off a Pentium II Chip?

I managed the first one with a bit of force and an alan key... but the next one seems impossible! I have now bent the alan key I went and bought for the job and cannot undo these screws!!

Any suggestions?

Carefully drill the head off. Use a drill bit about the diameter of the whole head, or just a bit smaller. Hold the heatsink in a clamp, and use a drill press.
Drill just enough to remove the head ( about 5mm max! )
Do this to all the screws and it should pull off.

I've bent an alan key and snapped a screwdriver so far, and I have about 40 to do!

When I moved to Korea, I put all my P2 and higher stuff in storage and I have a ton of them with heatsinks that I couldn't remove. I know the drill works but If you figure out an easier way let me know.
