Anyone have good ideas to tackle these three screws.

they are NOT staked but I don’t want to strip them

can they be heated ?

Mine came out pretty easy once I had the right bit that fit the 1/2" breaker bar... maybe I was just lucky, though?

Mine came out easy with the turn of a slotted BFS
and I replaced them with the hex heads I believe from a FJ62

I used these with a vertical 2x4 leveraged off the frame cross member. Chest laying into the 2x4 forcing the bit into the slot while working the cheater pipe. Broke loose with a loud "crack".
