1.) Make sure your screwdriver is top quality and fits perfectly. I use Wiha brand PH000x40 or PH00x40 for this. 2.) Always _tighten_ the screws first, this often breaks them loose. 3.) Use tiny quantities of penetrating oil and a LOT of patience. The oil often takes a day or two to get to to where it's needed. 4.) Tap the screwdriver handle sharply several times, this also helps break the screw loose.
I've only had a few I couldn't break loose, almost always because I got in a hurry and stripped, or broke, them.
