Damn, likely tightened 30 years ago!
Impact driver? big ass screw driver? This old motor is too greasy to risk heat
i don't want to leave 1/2 in the case.
Suggestions?
Biggest screwdriver you can fit in the slot, maybe a little penatrant (sp)
MAP torch. Works everytime. Everytime.
Use the largest craftsman screwdrive and BFH.
Stripped bolt removers work well too.

Try tightening them just a little before loosening them. This often breaks the corrosion bond and makes it easier to remove them. The same applies to brake line fittings.
Very carefully
I use a 1/2" drive, hand held impact screwdriver with the largest tip I can get in the screw. It too, works everytime. Like Chris said, try tightening it first.
I have a big ass screwdriver that has a hex section on the shaft right under the handle. I think it is made by SK Tools. You can put a box end wrench on it and really put some force behind it.

Impact screwdriver works pretty well.
I also like a 3/8" drive screwdriver tool that I have. Can get alot of torque easy with this tool and a 3/8" ratchet.

Just make sure the tip is the correct size for the slot in the screw.
The only screwdriver that I could find with a tip that was the right size was the largest one that my local Sears stocked. It's a really big mother... Not easy to use in the 914's engine bay, but not so bad when the engine is out.
I replaced all the engine tin screws that I could with Allen-head screws. Much easier to install and remove!!

The progression of tools...
1st - box wrench
2nd - vice grips
3rd - smoke wrench

The absolutely easiest and safest way of breaking the corrosion hold on any fastener is to whack it in the middle a couple of times with a hammer and drift--the shockwaves break-up all that is holding the fastener in.
I never use a impact, for over five years now--got damn tire of drilling and easy-outing, re-tapping,,etc.
In your case, your big-ass screwdiver is the drift.....good luck>>>
