No, I wouldn't try to drill out those screw heads.

Those screws are SUPPOSED to be brass or stainless steel, and if they're
badly corroded someone has replaced them with ordinary steel screws,
which is why they're stuck.

Yes. Because they are rusted I assumed they are soft steel and it will
be child's play to drill them out.

I suppose with acid , penetrating oil or heating them with a torch they
/might/ come out with a vice grip but more than likely they'll just
break off... necessitating a drill-out anyway.
