Well, if I was redoing the chest, I would use paint remover like Citristrip, painting it around the edges of the hardware and working it loose. If I was not worried about removing the old finish, I would apply to the entire drawer and work it loose. Sometimes you can push from the inside with a screwdriver after removing the screw. If it's heavily painted, it's possible you are going to remove some of the finish along with the hardware. Sometimes you can loosen hardware by sliding a thin blade under the edge, but, you're more likely to gouge the wood. Hope this helps.
You can go around the edges with a straight blade so that you loosen the paint without it ripping of any of the finish or paint from the surrounding area.
