Mosin Nagant sear screw removal

[DeepEastKilla]

im trying to put shims under the sear and i need to remove the screw. in any videos ive sean they easily come right off but mine is like concrete! the screws holding the action to the stock were somewhat loose but this screw is not moving! i cannot for the life of me remove the sear screw! ive tried different screw drivers, a vice grips on the screw driver. and it just slips. ive stopped so i dont completely wreck the head but i dont know what to do. can anyone help?

If its really that stuck Id suggest picking up an impact driver with a good fitting bit and trying that.Thats always worked for me on really stuck screws

im worried i could wreck it with something like that. i just got it today and dont want to end up wrecking a piece of history

okay! got it. i may end up getting a new screw anyway but i had to use a vice grips and clamp to the side of the screw.
