James,If I drill the head off the screw,then the rest of the screw will still be in the shaft. So how would I screw a wheel into it?

Drill the head off the screw .....unscrew the chuck ......grasp remains of L.H. retaining screw with pliers and undo it.

You may find that the small L.H. screw comes out as you drill it ......the drilling action is in the correct direction to do this.

A bit of brute force maybe required to unscrew the R.H. threaded chuck .......try sticking the short end of a large L shaped Allen key in the chuck then whacking the long end of the L with a hammer.

Heres an American site showing the dismantling process.

Of course another approach is to take the chuck off and leave the torque limiter in place. Turn it to its highest setting (usually marked with a drill symbol) and carry on. Doing it this way means that it will slip under very high loads but it also means that your motor will not be burned out by these same loads. Works for my bots.
