like I told you, if a regular screwdriver wont get them out, then go get a impact screwdriver. If that doesnt work, then you will need to drill the screws out.

you need to get one of those drill kit to drill it out... its cheaper to just get a impact screwdriver in the beginning...
try to see if you can hammer a big screw driver into the screw and then turn it. and yeah, spay more pb-blaster or wd-40.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Just drill it, its faster
Drill a small pilot hole in the head, then use a 1/4" bit to drill the head off, once you've done that, you'll probably need to drill the rest of the screw out with a smaller bit, but its not hard. Just make sure you've got drill bits for metal.
