Hey not a pro on your stove but as a mechanic anything can be drill and fixed and you can go to sears and buy a stud extractor easy to do. Use alot of rust breaker and soak overnite.
Good Luck,

Hello jc,
It would be best to drill out the broken screws and replace them - that unit should not be ran w/o the baffle plate. This is not a hard repair but very necessary for proper stove operation.
