Vice grips on the outside of the screws. Once the outside screws are loose, try spinning the boot to crack the inner screws loose. If there is impact driver clearance, that will work. Another option is a sharp chisel, striking the screw on the outside edge in order to spin it CCW.Ed
To measure is to know.

I like your dremel and "slot" idea. Do you have a hand-held "impact" driver too? A Required tool in your box,IMO) It can help to try soaking around with penetrating oil too of course....ONE thing I'd add is to use the impact BOTH ways ..ie: Bang away to undo, then try "tighten" a bit then undo again. When you first see it undo a little, keep winkling it backnforth (with oil) until it moves more and more and more and more. Ive had really swell success with stuck header bolts this way

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

It's excellent you have a parts bike to practise on. When you get your Impactdriver, notice that under the screwdriver holder, that pulls off, you'll fiind a socket driver. it's Very useful and can be adapted from to drive small shanks... a must have. Possibly, if your pockets are deeper, there are battery impact tools ....
Also keep your eye open for a small torque wrench in inch/lbs. Not the larger "ft/lbs" torque wrench. This'll help put things together without needing impact drivers to take them apart and will help prolong gasket life and save twisting the heads off bolts and such.
