They are not drywall screws, I think those are galvanized roofing
screws. I am just trying to get them out of the way, if I hammer in
opposite direction they will pop out the other end and tear up the
flashing and asphalt cement on top of it, which means I will have to
redo the roofing edge.

Can you grab the heads of the screws with the cutter, but not cut
them?

Then grab them with the cutter and twist the whole cutter when you
have a good grip. You may be able to unscrew them.

You did try a screwdriver? :-)

The screw heads are protected from above under a layer of asphalt
cement over some metal flashing and tar paper. I am trying to cut
them off from below without disturbing what is above.
