Sean: Once you have the driver bits and as you are letting the penetrating oil work on screws, take time to clean out the screw slots of any rust, dirt, dried oil whatever might be in there. A good supply of toothpicks is useful. This is important as the driver bit needs to completely fill the full depth of the slot and side to side as well. The set you buy will have an exact fit and that is the one you need to find for each screw. Once at that point, apply minimal torque. If it doesn't budge, soak some more. It can be hard to avoid the temptation to reef on it just a bit, but that's when you slip and scratch or break a head off.
Post some pics of progress over time. Good luck.
