In other words. No, there's no trick to removing the screws/nails beyond the
digging them out with a Cat's Paw Tool or cutting them with a Reciprocating
Saw. If they're all screws, as they appear to be, then you won't be able to
get them out (nor the new ones in) with a hand screwdriver and will need a
power-drill or impact-drill to make quick and easy work of them...do not
re-use the old ones.

1 tip to not have to replace the wood, is to do your damage and then simply
flip the board over to the undamaged side before re-attaching.
