Thirty years ago it was common in
the motorcycle circle to remove flat head phillips screws from the
aluminum casting with a tool called an 'impact driver' (IIRC).

Excellent advice. I have both a motorcycle and have tried this. The hex
head on the tool stripped right off on a stubborn one we wound up drilling.

Maybe I'll take a digital photo of the allen key I use to tighten the flat
heads tomorrow so everyone can see the pretzel-like "twist" it still
maintains from the last removal project.
