could try putting a regular screw driver on it and give it a few lil love taps wit a hammer then try it. i have had to do that before or use a small bit same as the screw the give it some love taps and put a socket on the bit and try it thats the one i would try first though i had to do it on m 200x hope that works for ya if you try it

Those look like a DREAM to unscrew compared to some of the ones I've had to deal with!
I think you should invest in an impact wrench if you're going to do much work on these old machines... they are a life saver!

I think you can buy them pretty cheaply at Harbor Freight. The kind you hold in your hand and strike with a mallet. I've had mine for 30 years now and its still going strong. Without that force pressing the bit into the phillips screw, the torque will just marr the screw head.

I've had good luck using a phillips drill bit in a 1/4" socket. Then you can use a ratchet to get some good turning torque.

Put all your weight on it!!
Also try a #3 phillips bit... probably grip better

I use an impact gun with the aitr turned down so it just lightly hammers on it.

Listen to what grizzlypeg said. Get your self a cheapo manual impact driver from Harbor Freight- it's got an anvil type end on it for smacking with a mallet, and it will unscrew the worst case bolts, trust me/us, it works.

This is important - especially if you don't use the impact driver.
