So I am dry running my install by looking at and removing some of my current equipment. I found that my U-strip that ties in my liner to my steps was installed with the wrong screws for 4 of them. They have rusted, I have not tried to remove them yet as I do not want to break them off and then what. I have to remove them eventually...

1. How can I do it without breaking them?
2. If they do break I do not see how I will get out the rest of the screw out.
a. Can I just calk over that hole and put 2 screws on either side?
3. Where can I find 1 1/4" stainless steal screws?

Caveat to 2a. This is a different setup, they are gunite steps not typical plastic steps what would be behind that strip that the screws go into? I included a picture
