I've also removed both windshields to see if I can take them apart and
get the glass out. I must have patience, as they are Stainless screwed
in an Aluminum frame . This will, I hope, cut cost on replacing them.

EEwwww...that can be a tough one.

I had a similar problem once a long time ago - back in the early '80s
on an oldish 20' Thompson. Had a hell of a time with it until a
machinist friend of mine suggested using light machine oil (sewing
machine oil in fact) to help the process along.

It did work - took some patience as you had to loosen the screws just
a tad to work the oil in, but the screws came out just fine.

There's a tool you might look around for - it's very similar to it's
larger cousin used for breaking screws loose, but much smaller. It's
got a spring in it and you tap it with a small hammer - the shock and
torguebreak the screws loose - can't remember the name of the tool but
it works.

A bit pricey for one use, but this is what I grab for:
