Step the holes up until you reach the tap drill size or until you drill into the threads if you are off center slightly. You can take a small pin punch, and sharpen it flat at an angle and use to tap the outside of the old screw towards the hole. If you are right on center, and have reached the tap drill size, you can usually tap out the old screw. A rule of thumb for length of screw is 1 1/2 x the diameter. I"d also suggest a different penetrating oil than WD 40. I"ve had problems with bolts seizing worse. The only thing I found good use for WD 40 is for fishing, temporarily keeping something from rusting, and to use as a lube when surface grinding aluminum.
