Posted 15/10/11 07:56 PM Share Posted 15/10/11 07:56 PM You can use vise grips for a better grab at them or I have also used side cutters vertically.If they are really really tight use a pin punch and small hammer.Hit the pin punch on the outer edge of the screw head, leave the tip of the pin punch in the divet you just made.Lay the pin punch over and tap with the hammer in an anti clockwise direction.I replace these screws with stainless allen key bolts.

Then untighten like any other screw. Hex key replacement is the go.
