A fellow sailor, who is also a machinist, lent me his Snap On Impact
Driver...it got the seized SS screw out. In order to remove the
stanchion from the base, I will have to remove the stanchion base from
the deck and he will take it to his shop (basement in this case) to
separate them and straighten the stanchion.

I have the same situation at the moment with a seized Phillips head
screw at the base of a lifeline stanchion. I’ve decided to remove the
stanchion base from the boat so that I can apply more aggressive removal
tactics. I have a replacement stanchion—so I don’t care if I destroy
the stanchion in the process.
