If you're afraid you may strip them, get an "impact driver." It has a 3/8" square drive (like a ratchet wrench) attached to a cylinder. You get a phillips bit, insert the tool into the screw, and while holding it twisted (the whole cylinder twists while leaving the bit stationery), smack the back of it with a 5 lb. hammer. The tools converts the torque of a hammer hitting it into a twisting motion all while pressing into the screw (remember you hit it with a hammer). You want the wheel, or whatever is holding the screw, to be on something solid.

Best Regards,

David
