What sort of screws? If they're drywall screws you can grab them with
pliers and bend them back and forth and they'll snap off, or you could
give them a couple or three swats with a hammer in opposite directions
- same result.

He knows that. He meant left and right, or front and back, opposite
directions from each other, not opposite direction as you just wrote,
with no s.

His is another way to bend them as in his previous clause.

Oh I see now. Well that does not work either. The hammer barely fits
so most times I hit something else in the narrow channel before the
nail or screw. I tried to wedge a flat head screwdriver against one
screw then wack the screwdriver with it but it just "weasel" its way
around the screw.

I think I will try the dremel grinding disc next since I have a dremel
(but no disc) if that does not work then I don't know what else I can
do. Minor details always kill my project schedule.
