Easiest method to remove height sensors when rusted?

Hi all.

Due to replace a couple of height sensors, but after a quick survey today, I have noticed the screws are hugely corroded. I cant even tell what head is on them!

What's the best method for removal? Dremel off the head?

Should be an easy job but I can tell already it will be a pain!

Thanks
Mike

They are torx headed screws and can be a Censored to get out, usually knock them from side to side and try to clean the head out from crap, but if all else fails then if you can get at the heads cut them off.

I think they are a torx 15 or 20..
