first a good reading on what the ScreenSaverEngine is all about:
http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?ScreenSaverEngine

Then a simple terminal line that will give you the running PID for ScreenSaverEngine:
ps -aux | grep ScreenSaverEngine | grep -v grep | cut -f2 -d ' '


A terminal line that will kill the screensaver process
kill -9 `ps -aux | grep ScreenSaverEngine | grep -v grep | cut -f2 -d ' '`


Yes thats unreadable by a normal human and as far from transcript haven as we can get, but this will kill the process.

Cheers
andre

PS: don't know if system will like you killing the process tough, but you can always start it again with open process command
