Nice start! I could’ve missed it, but if it hasn’t been said, the windshield hinge screws are not a normal Phillips bit, they are a JIS spec screw head. A JIS bit will get a better/deeper grab & help keep from stripping the heads.
Mine were stuck solid but after a coulple days soaking with PB Blaster, some heat from a map gas torch and a JIS bit (got off Amazon) in an impact drill, they all came right out without breaking or stripping.

Another trick I found that worked well was to bump the bolt tighter first, then back it out, just one more trick to help loosen the rust bond.
Good luck and have fun!
Yep, bringing this home from work tonight, along with a torch for the PTO drive-line. Yours looks fancier...
