If they are as tight as your post suggests, then take it from a mechanic that has run into the same kind of problem way too many times......An impact driver, as others have already suggested, is going to be the only choice. There is no way you can use a screwdriver and adjustable wrench, etc and hold the end of the screwdriver in the head of the screw with enough force to keep it from rounding out the head of the screw. On the other hand when you smack the end of an impact driver the force pushing the bit into the head is equal to, or greater than the force applied to the screw in breaking it loose. I've used one many times and never rounded out a screw using one. I've broken the heads off a few, but none ever rounded out. That said, I have rounded out my share trying to hold the screwdriver and turning it with an adjustable.
Given that you say your going to have to hold it while getting the screws out does nothing but magnify the fact that your not going to have enough force to keep from rounding the head. But, if you have someone else hold it and then use an impact driver, it will still, more than likely come out. Good luck.
