I like a "drilling hammer" or an engineers hammer. Usually the drilling hammer will work anything loose.
And yeah, gloves and a pair of safety glasses.

Ouch, that is not fun!! I am lucky because I have a local old-time hardware store that has a great selection of tools, drill bits, taps, etc. And I can buy a left-handed bits there. Yes, those bits are expensive. That store has been in business since 1945 in the same family, it is truly a treasure so I do what I can to keep them in business. They also have a Lawn and Garden store in a separate building and that one is of equal importance to me.I had to "drill" through a broken drill bit,
What you guys need is a old fashioned hammer impact. It'll remove those Japanese MC screws that were made of cheese. They will be about the only thing to remove those stubborn fan screws. I have one from Snap-on and it's one of my MVP tools. You can get a decent one at HF or the Canadian version.

Get some good bits for it.
I have the same tool from snap-on. It comes out every time I have to remove screws in metal.What you guys need is a old fashioned hammer impact.

Yep left handed are nice, sometimes you get lucky and they will grab and take the screw out for you.Left-handed drill bits are handy for when you have already buggered up the top of the screw. You can also use a die grinder to cut a slot to get fresh meat on the screw head.
Might be a bit late for a reply, but Mike Duwe put a turbo on a 332.Been a while but if IIRC Mike Drew put a turbo on a 420. I think it was a 420 anyway.
