stick adhesive tape around the screw, to protect the surface of the 
module. (This are the things one learns after the first try)

The complete frame is a kit, which is fixed by screws. You might unscrew 
the side panel, which is closer to the stuck screw. After that you can 
draw the module with the nut bar out of the profile, which holds the nut 
bar. when the nut bar and the module are removed from he profile, it 
should be more easy to grab the screws head with pliers.
