If those are stainless steel screws in Aluminum without any protection,
they've likely welded/corroded
themselves to the aluminum. You will likely only get them out with a
drill. You will then
have to re-tap the holes, or use a threaded insert to remount your
spreader. If you do get them
off, when you put new in use a lot of never seize compound or teflon to
separate the two materials.
You might get lucky if you just drill the heads off the screws to get a
vice grip on them for more
power. I've never had much luck with them tho.

Hello
I am in the process of ordering new spreaders and the supplier asked
to send the old bases so the holes can be properly aligned.
The spreader bases are attached by screws. I have soaked with
penetrating oil this evening and will soak over night. I will bring a
torch over tomorrow. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I
would prefer not to have to drill them out.
