Hi Rob,
It is best to heed the advice of Dennis.
Use a hand impact driver to get it loose. Then
maybe hit it with one of the recommended electric tools just for fun.
If you strip the head then the only option is a
nice bit o' drilling. Which isn't all that bad
since you will have a nice little pilot "dish".
And drill at or just slightly less than shank diameter so you can re-tap.
Cheers, Russ

I've had good luck with a hand impact

screw head while you whack it or you'll mess up the screw head.
Used to work on motorcycles a lot. Hand impact driver was my best friend.

I want to remove a stanchion but the SS screw in the toe rail into the
stanchion is seized .....I have applied PB Blaster, 50% ATF - 50%
Acetone....tied putting a Philips head driver and hammering it to break
the bond, no luck.
Scared to try torch heat because of the proximity to the hull and do not
have an impact driver but may get one.
Anyone have any experience with this?
