Not sure of soaping or greasing the screw is best. It reduced friction going in, so it can reduce friction coming out as well right?

Grinding the original screw is a good idea, and I have done it a couple of times. Its always a good idea to try and use the original if possible, if not just drill carefully, its not as frightening as it sounds! And preferable to getting a bigger screw stuck.
If you did it correctly the first time, why would you want to remove it?
A bar of Ivory soap makes the best lubricant (hee hee....he said lubricant!). I found the best source to be next-to-the-sink in my wife's bathroom. Drives her nuts when freshly unwrapped bars keep disappearing.
