That's why yer not drilling it down blindly.
Start with a small/thin drill bit so it's easy to center and gives u a starting hole for the bigger bits.
Next use a slightly bigger bit, but thinner than the screw's shaft and drill down pass the point where the screw's shaft and head met.
Then finish off with a yet bigger bit that's just a bit bigger than the shaft, go slow here, drill then look, and stop when u can see the sole of the shoes. At some point the screw will get loose and u can remove it with that's left of the head.
