It's called "Freeze Off" my dad gets it at autozone. It's made by the CRC company. If the screw will come out at all, even if it's only a couple of turns, spray that stuff in there. I watched it CLEAN a rusted bolt in five minutes. It was almost shiny.. I also watched it eat the rust off of an exhaust manifold they were working on. It works.

Drill the head off, remove the lens and then use vise-grips on the screw.
