I think if you put your scope properly mounted in a drill press and then get a well fitted allen wrench mounted in the chuck, you should be able to keep pressure on the screws with the drill press and allen wrench and turn the screws out by using the drill press Key as a handle to turn the drill press chuck. You do need to align all perfectly. Do the heat thing as Chuch H says just before engaging the chuck held second allen wrench which might make it easier. You might briefly try to tighten the screw before trying to back it out.
