Default Any suggestions on how to take the spoiler screws off?

So i'm wanting to take off my spoiler of my car but the screws won't budge. there are two screws on each side and they look somewhat rusted. sprayed some wd-40 on it but still won't budge. i'm using a regular screwdriver and maybe i dont' have enough torque to take it off. so any ideas of how to take it off?

don't strip'em. put the right sized phillips in I belive is #2. have someone hold the trunk down while you push up on the screw and put some fu$%in elbow grease into it.

don't use a drill do it by hand or you will strip it. spray some wd-40 or brake cleaner and let it sit for 20 min then try
