Rust/Loc-Tite dilemma-mud flaps 86 TRX200SX

I’m hoping someone here has dealt with this on the mudflaps for an 86 TRX200SX. I have a perfectly good set of mudflaps that I’d love to use.

The problem is…some of the screws/fasteners are really rusted…others seem to be locked so tight that no matter what I’ve tried, I cannot bust them loose and I’ve been trying for a week.

I can’t just cut the heads off….I’d ruin the mud flaps if I did so.

I’ve tried PB Blaster, 20% vinegar, and Evapo-Rust.

Any advice would be most appreciated, I can’t be the only person who has dealt with this problem…

Thanks!
