you can use a screw extractor or drill it out?

Thanks endlesszeal, seems to be the consensus need to drill/reverse bit/extractor to do the job.
Thanks to Booj, he gave a good tip to remove the LGA2011 socket first so drilling doesn't damage the motherboard. Booj suggested the Rampage IV Extreme tool for LGA1366/LGA2011 socket switching, but I found a compatible tool in my tool box to first remove the LGA2011 socket before attempting to use a reverse drill bit.

Smart idea to remove the retention bracket before trying to drill. One slip and the board would be fubar.
On another note, I have that cooler. I tried it on a 3930k, it doesnt do a very good job keeping the CPU cool. You'd be better off with a different cooler IMHO if the Xeon's run anywhere near as warm.

Thanks OC Nub, i think i should be fine as E5-2650 lower clocked and E5 series doesn't have much oc'ing headroom - this is a work rig I am building.
Good news is got that Coolermaster broken off standoff thread out of the LGA2011 socket. Coolermaster tech confirmed it's a defect and directed me to contact Australian distributor, rectron.com.au for RMA still haven't heard back from them though.
The pesky culprit
Thanks to Booj for the tip on separating and removing the LGA2011 socket from the motherboard !

glad you got it resolved =)
i was thinking maybe you would want to remove the bracket but i wasnt sure how.
btw, what kind of work will this beast see?
-
Bracket seems to come off easily once you find the right tool to undo the 4 screws.
As to work it mainly for web/mysql database and multi-threaded work specific to my consulting work. Will also dabble in virtualisation stuff as I'm always setting up test servers for various tests/research.
i.e.
But will definitely set aside a disk for windows benching
