I used PB Blaster, a couple of love taps,let sit,maybe get a few blisters,couple of brews,some
choice words. It worked. Only had to grind off one out of complete interior of my 4t6. Good luck

Took my dremel and a small cutting wheel and cut slots in them. Then went to a bolt shop here & bought phillips screws. Not original but functional.

Tightening first before loosening sometimes works. On tough ones I use heat.

Patience, heat, PB Blaster, pressure, tapping and tightening before loosening all work. I have removed the screw tip from the driver and inserted it into the problem screw and tapped it a few times after letting PB do its thing. If all else fails drill the screw out and try removing with a screw extractor. They are available in a variety of sizes from your local hardware store, home center or auto parts supplier. Best of luck with your problem screws.

use of a clutch head socket and an impact driver along with a good penetrating oil is the best way I have found over the years.

If you have access to a wire welder, tack a 1/4" nut onto the head of the screw. The wire is small enough to weld inside the nut. The heat from the coupla seconds of welding should also be enough to loosen the threads. A little penetrating spray, and a wrench or socket on the nut should get it off.

PBblaster and really tight vice grips on the head worked for me on a number of clutch head screws on my 50 3600 truck. A few I had to heat with a plumbers torch then PBblaster on them. Let the PBblaster sit a 1/2 hour or so. Tap with a hammer a bit, then crank a set of vice grips on the head and give a twist.
