So I'm in progress of changing the bulb. The sealing screws are old, green, deteriorating, and the Philips head is stripping out when I'm unscrewing via hand pretty easily.

In terms of getting them out, I doubt a rubber band would work but I will try today or tomorrow, not sure how I feel about "screw grab" liquid, I do have a screw extractor drill bit, I feel it's probably not a good idea to try to dremel a flat head while the screws on the light fixture.

So as of now my plan was to use the bit and then buy new screws however I've noticed outrageous prices per screw (Pentair SCREW, SEALING (619792) - INYOPools.com).

What do you all think?

Any recommendations to find normal prices screws? Get the screws out then dremel?
