One other trick that can work if the screw is tight is to put the
screwdriver on the screw head and then give the other end of the screw
driver a whack with a hammer. Often then it starts to undo.

Old fashioned manual impact screwdriver. I still have mine, it's over 50
years old.

I purchased one around 45 years ago when the only car that I could
afford was a 10 year old rust heap that required a door to be replaced
and the only way to get it off was a impact screwdriver.

These days for domestic DIY I find a cordless Makita impact driver does
a good job.
