Are they sheet metal screws? If so try prying up on the module as your turning the screws out.

Another tool that works well for tough screws, especially on motorcycles, is an impact driver.

What does a prograbit look like, how does it work? That is a new one on me. The closest Lowes is 100 miles away or I would go look at one.
Thanks
