On my 800, I had to pull them and they came right out. The PO had put antiseize on the threads before putting them back in. Thanks Matt G.
I don't think mine are going to come out easy. I tried to remove them a few years ago to paint them and gave up before I did any real damage. So I'll start the liquid wrench and see what happens. BTW, be thankful that the philips head bolts/screws are becoming dinosaurs in favor of hex or stars.
