   Another tip to remove stuck screws is to use your cordless
  drill/driver.  Set the clutch on the chuck to a low setting, like 3 or
  4, then proceed to try to remove the screw, allowing the clutch to slip
  while you continue to have the driver reversing.  This will cause your
  drill/driver to act like an impact driver on the screw and will almost
  always loosen a stuck screw after a few minutes.  This method has never
  failed me yet.

Penetrating oil should help from the top too.  Putting a little valve grinding c
ompound in the screw heads, and a brand new Phillips bit, works wonders in helpi
ng get stuck screws out.
