Noobest question - how to I get these screws out of wood?
I'm guessing these might be brass screws holding the hinges in. The wood- no idea, it's from India and at a guess is a couple decades old at least.
A screwdriver and a carefully applied torque wrench are just mashing the screw head into mush and it feels like the entire head might sheer off. The damaged section of wood is where the torque wrench slipped off.
I can't tap the pin out of the hinges either, they appear to have both ends flattened out to keep them in.
