    To remove a rusted screw spray with a releasing fluid like WD40 and find a screwdriver that fits the screw as close as possible. Try to tighten slightly as the screw head will usually be less worn in this direction and may start to turn, then undo if it has moved. If the screw is damaged try gripping with side cutters or pliers across the head and twist with a jerk. If all else fails you may have to drill it out.
