Has anybody here successfully swapped out screens?  It's that time, and mine is putting up quite a fight.  One of the 4 philips-head screws that holds the screen retaining ring in place has stripped such that the screwdriver can't move it.  And it seems the ring itself has gotten pretty stuck in place.  Right now the whole unit is sitting on the drill press, having been given a good dousing with PB Blaster to try to break things loose.  Anybody have ideas to try before just drilling out the dead screw?

 

Mechanics use impact wrench to loosen stuck nuts and screws.

You can try using a hammer drill to drive out the stuck screws.

Or use this tool, a tool that is designed for stuck screws:
