In similar situations I have been successful using a Dremel rotary tool with
a cut-off wheel.

I am trying to remove an old gate from a wooden post. The holder screws
have rusted, as have the nuts and bolts holding the gate. What is the
best thing to do: should I try to cut through the metal, or force the
gate off the post with a crow bar? or some other solution.
