Losi 8 truggy shock screw stuck in A arm

Hi-
I am trying to remove my front shocks and BOTH tiny screw that hold the eyelets on the A arms will not come out. They just spin in place.
I guess I will have to cut the arms to get the shocks off and buy new ones:mad:
Is there any way to prevent the screws from getting stuck again? I have never had this happen before.

Yes that is the screw. Thanks for the photos. I tried pushing while turning the screw but it seems stuck fast.
I am selling the truggy to someone who knows about the stuck screw. He is a good at fixing things.

That’s a bummer. It just takes a little finesse to get it out. The 8T is a really nice machine. I like mine.
