Well, it was nowhere near as bad as I feared, and I got myself all worked up
over nothing.
I drilled the heads off the dead screws giving access to the shafts. One
came out immediately with a vicegrip, the other needed some heat and PB
Blaster. The backing plates for the hinges are threaded with no captive
nuts. They are *very* thin, so it does not take much to break the screws
loose.
The hardware stores do not carry 1/4x28 Philliips screws with pointy ends.
