    cut slits in the screws so a flat head can fit in the. Spray the hell out them let em soak. Then try using a impact screw driver(the kind you hit with a ). If that does not work I would move on to left hand drill bits, then if that doesn't work I would use easy outs.

    What I do is use a small drill bit and drill the center, then tap in a TORX bit and using a ratchet, break them loose. Works great.

    drill a small hole and use a easy out. After you get them out go buy yourself a tap set. retap the holes and you should be good as new. oh dont forget to use ALOT of never seize.
