Going nuts about my bolts...

Okay, more teardown this past weekend and I've come across some problems with fasteners on my -725.
#1: the screws holding the side compartment door on are frozen solid. No screwdriver I put to the screws can budge them, including a 3/8" breaker bar with a phillips head socket. Lubed the heck outta them and broke a phillips head off in the process. Should I just drill them out? Any assistance from others with previous frozen screw problems, I'd love to hear your tales.
#2: Smart ass that previously ran this truck (the National Zoological Park) chiseled off the side and rear reflectors and left the screw portion of the reflector bolts in their places. How to get those out?!? This may be a job for a larger drill bit...
HELP!
