Helping someone remove the stock on an old side by side.
I have a variety of turn screws that fit the slots perfectly, but cant seem to turn the screw under the lever at all and I dont want to tear it up
Any tricks?

Depends on the gun but that is often a through hole in the trigger plate. If so you can add some penetrating oil from the bottom. If not, try a tight fitting turn screw in a drill press.

I have used a large tap handle and made a bit to fit the slot in the pin this works if you don't have drill press.if you a long bit you could use it in a drill press

Any tricks? Lefty-loosey... Righty-tighty... Tough to remember those complicated instructions for screw removal... when you're a brain damaged hatchery trout! My advice... Don't even try this task. A head of cabbage would have better odds of success, i.e., roughly equal to your pal nca225. Of course, you could always send it to the free advertising gunsmith SKB, and he could then farm the work out to someone else. Or you could send it to Steven Dodd Hughes, another DoubleGun Shop.com free advertiser, since you apparently like his style. Then there's Shortshells. You both have a lot in common.

Depending on where the screw is, you might try an impact driver with the bit modified to fit the slot. Garrett Wade sells a small one I think. I bought one from an auto parts store and filed a bit to fit the holes in the striker disc. The advantage is the it only turns when you hit it with a hammer, so the force is into the slot or holes. I had tried everything mentioned here, as well as putting a bit into a brace. Nothing budged it until the driver. I'd be a little timid about using it on exposed screws, but it's actually probably safer than the slot than and other method that would be more likely to slip. Here are the garret Wade drivers: https://www.garrettwade.com/pro-screw-loosening-impact-driver-set-gp.html(Be sure to tell Garret Wade to send $10 to Dave if you buy them)

Be sure your screwdriver blade is not too wide. Some countersinks for screws have tapered sidewalls, so even though the blade of the screwdriver fits nicely into the visible slot, the edge of the blade may be catching the sidewall below the surface of the screw head. This can make removal very difficult, especially if lots of downward pressure is applied to the screwdriver.

Impact driver is a good way to break the head of the pin, drill press puts a solid down force on the slot in the pin the large tap handle give you controlled torque to get really tough pins out. I had a hinge pin on a 1892 wc scott Monte carlo that wouldn't budge I used the tap handle and a bit I made to remove it if it had cracked I would have had to make a very complicated pin.

No, not in the least. I have offered the only appropriate advice you have received thus far. A person like you has no business attempting something so complicated as removing a screw without doing damage. I can tell that you have no mechanical aptitude. And you should never be permitted to touch or use sharp tools.
