Sounds like the kind of luck I have.
Drill out and proceed with care

Well, I got the parts to fix the starter on my son's '97 Cruiser. Sat down at my bench and started taking it apart. When I got to the two big screws and two little screws on the case they are stuck. So I got my trusty impact screw driver and it wouldn't budge them. Then I noticed that the coating on the magnets that are connected to the winding got damaged from the banging. Damn! So, did I hose the starter or can I put some epoxy on the ends of the magnets?

What I plan to do now is drill out the screws and replace them with appropriatly sized bolts. BTW, this starter was remanufactered by some outfit in south Florida at some point in the past.

IMHO, if your current starter is aftermarket, I would take it out, fix it and have it as a spare.

Then I would call Dan up and get a new OEM reman unit. You'll kick yourself for not doing so.
