Apply a penetrant such as liquid wrench or WD-40, even peanut butter will work if given enough time to work its way into the threads!
are they stripped? If so, there is a product called āScrew outā. It removes stripped screws
Are the screws stripped? If so, you can put a wide rubber band across the screw head and then try unscrewing.
I've heard you can cut a notch into the screw head (straight across) with a dremel or hacksaw. Insert a flat blade screwdriver and attempt to turn the screw
If you have a soldering iron heat the screw by holding it against the head of the screw. You can also heat a metal rod till its red hot on your stove and hold it on the screw head. The heat may be enough to break the bond.
you might try adding a drop of MD40 down the side of the screw and then heat it. Your u may have to dig out a little around the screw and once out, fill the hole with wood filler. Let us know how you make out!
