My 1st thought is take a soldering iron and lightly heat the head of the screw and back it out while warm

If you can get the bolts in the heads with the paper gaskets, then use them for extra seal. If the heads have been surfaced then there probably wont be enough room for both sides to have the gasket. Like Billccm said, maybe your engine will seal better with only one gasket and some good sealer...

Sage advice, I not as young and daring as I was, ( turned 75 last week). And this repair way above my skill level. So between a new sub frame, pulling motor and reinstall thinking $2k minimum .
