Apply HEAT to the tool that fits the screws and some of the heat will transfer to the screw, then try backing it out, a sharp tap on the screw while hot may also break it loose. Nothing ventured, Nothing gain, done this on manufacturing equipment but never a knife.

thank you james i will try that. If all fails how can i get the screw out without damaging the back spacer so that i can put new ones in?

You can put a soldering iron tip on the screw, heat it, and immediately back the screw out.

The soldering tip idea is a good way, G-10 is designed to take heat (be careful still). Also try soaking it in boiling soapy water, this will clean your knife real good as well.
