Question headlight housing frame bent

I tried removing the headlight panel and the screws are kinda jammed....i took a few off and was using a ratchet to take the other one off using the bolt on the other side of the screw.....i was trying it and the frame of the headlight housing got bent.....anyone have any experience with this situation and got any ideas on how im gonna get those screws off?...and i'm thinking of just using a hammer to unbend the frame....is that a good idea?

thanx,
Gufran

are the screws rounded at all?

The bent piece can be straightened I'm sure, Once you get the screws off.

If the screws are heavily rounded, you can drill them out but thats a last resort kinda thing.
