I need to replace a few boards on my deck but I can't get the screws out as they are rusted and stripped.

You can buy a tool that will get them out. I have seen where if you take a rubberband and put it on the screw it will come out, not sure about the heavy duty deck ones though.
Hi Allison, here's a link to a youtube video that will show you how to do this.....about 2-1/2 minutes in he goes into details about removal.
Hope this helps....https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=yset_widemail_chr_win&p=how+to+remove+rusted+or+stripped+wood+screws+from+deck%3F#id=1&vid=b512277639ff4792906878612b303b18&action=click
A Hammer. Or use a Rubber Band at the End of a Philips Screw Driver if those are not Stripped really bad.
Sears sell a screw out bit.
