Default Removing old screws

Greetings all ye o-ringers...

Advice needed. How can someone remove really old and rusted screws from the original ARAH line? I have a number of blue shirts, Baroness, etc, that the o-rings have dry rotted, but I can't replace it because the screws are so rused they break apart. Are there really small screw-remover drill bits I can find somewhere?

no need for a drill, just get one of the Precision Screwdriver sets. I made an old Alpine screw worse with a drill and after completely balding it, the Precision phillips head( the largest one)3.5mm worked. I use it all the time now, even is great on 82-83 rusted and stripped leg screws.

Danzo's right but I still drill the smack outta em! Go to walmart and get the smallest drill bit you can find and drill into the screw the whole thing always comes out for me. The set Mr. D talks about is expensive since im a cheap wad! the bit is like 3 bucks!
