Getting doors off..
I can see the screws but what exactly is the best way of loosening them? They are way too tight, even for my drill.

i sprayed mine with penatrine spray over night and taped them with a punch to break the seal and then used a large screw driver with a shifter to help
turn them ya have to press hard to stop the screwdriver from poping out of the grove

WD40 and an impact driver... even then they it can be impossible... they must have been put in with some sort of air impact driver or impact driver
& small sledge hammer.... The screws will never fall out or come loose in normal circumstances..... thats for sure...

I use a number 4 Phillips tip in a socket and have someone push against the end to make sure the bit does not slip out of the screw
Also try a little course valve grinding paste in the drive section of the screw. It helps lock the tip into place while turning.

i use a phillips head that fits tight and clamp vice grips to the shaft of the screwdriver. hold alot of preasure on it and pull the vice grips anti
clockwise. i always get them undone. you get a lot of leverage with the vice grips.

I use the proper size phillips screw driver, but one with a gripper handle,
I never use an impact driver, thats a good way to make sure your door gaps never line up again.

Good point Dave Dont use the hammer and impact device.
If they dont turn then drill the countersunk head off and tap out the old screw when the door is removed.
