Are you sure they are philips head screws? not torque or any of the weird locking screws like square head?

probably are, and you can loosen them by letting them soak in a penetrating oil for an hour or two.

its a saturn, they're phillips. if they were torx they'd be plastic.. but yes they are phillips, they're just slightly off from the screw driver...
what kind of oil? wd-40?

hrm, i'll look into it. i don't really feel like driving all the way to lowes or home depot (conviently located next to eachother so either store is a longer drive then i feel like) i have a hardware store in my town though, maybe they'lll have someothing.
