Favorite technique for removing rusted screws??

Wipe the screw head with mek to remove the PB Blaster from the screw head.
Use a q Tip, and then SUPERGLUE THE SCREWDRIVER INTO THE SLOT.
This really helps keep the slot together and stops camout. ALSO use the
correct screwdriver for the job. Straight slot screws need straight slot
screwdrivers.
Putting common screwdrivers in straight slots forces the screwdriver out
when you crank on it.

Before attempting to remove these screws, I apply PB Blaster and let
them sit 24hrs. then I ensure the screwdriver slot is clean.

Good so far. A tiny bit of tapping on each screw may be a good idea,
or may just be wasted effort.

Then
sometimes the screw backs out nicely; other times the screwdriver
slips out, beginning the process of rounding the head.

At that point stop! Get out your Dremel with one of those thin,
fragile little cutoff wheels and cut the slot a litle deeper and square it
off at the bottom before you try again. If it is a Phillips head, just
cut a new flat slot across the head.
