Just use a socket. Not sure what size, but it will be a little smaller than your lug wrench.

Worst comes to worst, you can always get a nut/bolt extractor. They come in really handy. Problem is I don't know if you'll find one big enough.

Got it, it's a 26mm. Now on to fight the rotor off, then the ebc's will be done!

I used a impact hammer and a large phillips bit to get that screw out of the rotor.
