CM91: Stymied! Frozen Screw #1

I'm sure this is going to be the first of many frozen screws and bolts.  Bring it on, I say.

I had just gotten started with removing the Cylinder Head and Camshaft, but just a couple steps in I got stymied by the bottom screw of the contact breaker plate.  It doesn't seem to be rusted, just simply over-tightened.  The top one came out with no problem so not sure why someone screwed the bottom one in ten times harder.

Gave it a good try with the screwdriver but I could feel it starting to strip, so I quit that strategy.  Got a Lisle impact driver coming in the mail soon.  Will give that a try, but in the meantime will be reading up on how to drill out stuck screws, just in case...
