You can apply a great deal of force to prevent the bit from jumping out and at the same time a lot of rotational force.

Drilling them out and tap new treads after is one option. An impact driver is another option....you might get lucky with the impact driver and not have to tap new treads but I wouldn't count on that ...the impact driver may also break the screws as they are fused to the aluminum. I took a stanchion and stanchion base off last year using an impact driver but a few of the screws broke off, had to be drilled out and new treads. Luckily for me a fellow club member who is also a machinist (retired) did the latter part. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - #277 Halifax, N.S.

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.
