Another handy tool, is the counter clockwise drill bit. An easy-out kit I bought once came with them, even cobalt!

I have then drilled, tapped and installed slightly larger machine screw with anti seize. Good luck.

You will likely only get them out with a drill. You will then have to re-tap the holes, or use a threaded insert to remount your spreader. If you do get them off, when you put new in use a lot of never seize compound or teflon to separate the two materials. You might get lucky if you just drill the heads off the screws to get a vice grip on them for more power. I've never had much luck with them tho.

The spreader bases are attached by screws. I have soaked with penetrating oil this evening and will soak over night. I will bring a torch over tomorrow. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I would prefer not to have to drill them out.
