Use a dremel and cut the keg screw off?

What about using an Amerock hinge?

The screw might go in a little off angle but it still went in OK. As long as the other screw is in OK the difficult one won't pull the hinge cup out of alignment.
I would not epoxy the hinge in place. How would you remove it if there's a problem?

Well I pretty much took your advice jteneyck. I figured if I epoxied it right off, I'd never know for sure if I could have found a path for the screws. If I play around with drilling a different direction, and it didn't work, no harm. So I did a little exploratory drilling and was able to angle a new pilot hole parallel to the door side so as not to pull it left or right too much. One of them is slightly off but I don't think enough to cause a problem. Thanks for everyone's help.

Of the 8 holes used to mount the hinges, there are about 3 of them where I am hitting the Kreg screws below the surface and I can't use both holes. I was thinking of using something to bond the base of the hinge to the wood, unless there is a better idea I'm missing. I am able to get at least one screw in each hinge. So I just need something else to keep it solidly in place. Any ideas?

I would try to center drill thru the pocket screws. If you can do this on a drill press it would be better than free hand drilling. Any industrial supplier carries these drills. McMaster Carr, Wholesale Tools, Grizzly and others sell them .
They were meant to spot a center on a work piece on a mill or lathe or drill press, but will work for you. If you can get them in carbide , then I believe it would drill easier.
