I would offer the following
1) make sure you using the appropriate size screwdriver (I am not
sure about the size because a DPO replaced mine with screws that use
an alan wrench.) But on other LBCs I have owned used a #3 or #4.
2) take the front wheels off & remove the splash guards & from that
position you can spray penetrating oil on the back of the captive
nuts & bolts
3) I would then use a long screwdriver & a hammer to try to loosen
the rust/corrosion that might be holding the screw
Good luck
