Need some advise on rusted screws that hold the headlights in. They will not come out with a screw driver. I'm afraid I will strip or break the head. I have doused them with PB Blaster. Whats the best way to remove these? Obviously one is complete toast from PO.

A bit of heat from an torch and then touch a piece of paraffin to the hot metal. Unlike oils that evaporate, paraffin will wick into the threads when hot. Works well most of the time.
