There is a tool called an "easy-out" which requires you to drill a small pilot hole and use the easy out to back out the screw by hand. The link shows you some examples of easy-outs.

Can I replace 3-knob shower and tub faucet system with a new 3-knob trim without replacing inlet valve?

There should be a new trim plate available and new knobs. If there are no knobs that fit the stems of the faucet, there are universal ones that go on using an adapter. A square adapter goes on the stem and is held in place with a set screw and the knob fits on that and is held on with the screw in the center that goes through the knob and adapter.


How do you get a door knob off if the retaining screws are stripped?

Try getting the point of a utility knife blade under the edge of the screw and pry upward as you attempt to back the screw out with a screwdriver. Once the screw is out far enough, you can grasp it with pliers and unscrew it the rest of the way. If all else fails, bore through the screw with a drill bit.

Are there any modern replacement options for the single handle Moen Chateau crystal knob?

Just the knob? If there is not a knob with the correct shaped hole in the bottom, there are universal adapters that fasten to the stem coming out of the faucet and then the new knob fits on that. The adapter is just a square fitting that attaches to the stem with a set screw and the new knob fits over that and is held on with the center screw.
