After sleeping on this over night,since you have 3 still holding the cap on I think I would
cut the heads off and epoxy the heads to the cap and not think about it. Freddie’s idea also works great if it’s steel in steel but, steel screws in aluminum will cook the wheel especially trying to weld a small 8-32 screw. And if the wheel is MAGNESIUM you could lose the wheel in the fire, along with the garage, the neighbors garage your house and everything on the block. Just a little morning humor.Joe

I have done a lot of these with varying degrees of success. Now I just use my Bridgeport and install a helicoil. Happy to do that for you if you like. Alternatively, I machined a drill jig that you can borrow that guides the drill bit, but you may still break bits trying to get those hardened screws out.
