Is it common practice to heat the little bolts holding the tin on the engiine in order to remove them. I have been soaking them with penetrating oil. Iask this is I don’t wanna get anything too hot and damage the engine case. Looking to see what others have done as I’ve already broken one I will have to tap it out just don’t wanna have to do more if I can help it

I had one engine that was a PITA to get the tin screws off. I had good luck in that instance with a cheap manual impact driver. Something like this:
