Removing screws stuck in MacBook Air.

I'm trying to replace a battery in my 2015 MacBook Air but three of the screws nearest the fan will not come out. The tech guys at the Apple store couldn't get them out either. (A third party store replaced the battery the first time and clearly overtightened the screws) Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro Overheating, Loud Fan Hi, I just had a battery replacement at a Mac service center due to a bloated battery. My Mac seems to still overheat quite easily and the fans are running at a high speed as well. May I know if the service center usually cleans the fan after a battery replacement? I would be quite disappointed if they didn't at least help clean the fan which was probably what was causing the overheating and battery swelling in the first place. The battery replacement was quite expensive.

Fan/Battery Issue on MacBook Pro 13" I purchased my MacBook back in 2021 and it's only a little over a year old. It needs a new battery, but also the fan seems to be running at full power constantly, even when I tried opening it in safe mode. The vents are not blocked. I even tried cleaning them with some canned air just to make sure. The computer doesn't feel hot to the touch or seem to be running hot at all. My question is, if the fan issue possibly related to the battery issue or are these more likely two separate problems?
