Help! Can\'t remove grill.

So I\'m painting my grill on my e90 the kidney grills popped right out with a little force but I can\'t get the chrome pieces off the front of the hood. There is three screws on each side. On the right side the screw farthest left refuses to come out and the two outer screws on the right one refuse to come out. Any help would be appreciated.

use some wd-40 and more strength! if not get a screw gun and put force on it so it won't pop out/strip screw head and take it off.

if they are just spinning, pull up on the plastic piece while unscrewing.

Yeah they just keep spinning, I tried to put pressure on top of the screw no luck. If I pull on the chrome part won't it break the plastic backing?
