PTO screw help

Need a bit of help, have to fit a new gasket to the PTO plate again!! Being the top plate there is another spacer with a gasket, the issue I have is with the 2 screws holding it on, anyone had t remote them before? if so is there a specific screwdriver or tool that you used?
Don't want to round them off anymore than they are, will post pic tomorrow.

Update, left the screws and fitted a new gasket but got another small leak.
So I've drained the box again need to fit a new gasket to the top cover of diff mechanism and diff lock switch so thought I could kill 2 birds with one stone.
As mentioned above the spacer/housing behind the pro plate has 2 screws as you can see, cannot get them to budge, tried WD40, heat and hammer but nothing and as the photos show all I have succeeded in doing is start to round them off.
Also the is a hole in the housing about the 10 o clock level, should that be sealed with rear gasket or is it to allow the flow of oil?
Any ideas for the screw removal or insights would be much appreciated.

Not had a problem removing those myself on my box or a mate's box. A hammer impact screw driver [ hit with hammer type not electric ] should do the job, they come with a number of different screw heads. Handy item in the tool box and not expensive.

Yes, was just thinking about one of them, I will have to invest in one.
Do you know where I would get replacement screws from? have a feeling I'm going to need some.
